TED 2017
Zeynep Tufekci 3: We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads (transcript)
Summary
Dystopia means an imagined place where everything is unpleasant or bad, and which is a degraded place.
The title shows that we're building a dystopia by clicking on ads on the internet our own hands and the speaker tells us that the real threat is who use collected huge data to control us. Our data is accumulated every day and its system is structured to entice us more.
She said that this needs to change though I think that we have no way and mobilizing our politics is more dangerous. They would want to get big benefits.
We, who not only buy something on the internet but use the internet are still the products that are being sold.
Can we notice who uses it to control us?
