I once read “The Suicide” by Emile Durkheim thinking it was a thriller…now I’m a sociology student 🤷🏻‍♀️
Nice plot twist though

Max Weber and Karl Marx are the salt & pepper of sociology (they’re everywhere)

No one can change the world alone, but if everyone start doing simple improvements by pondering everyday decisions it’d be difficult to ignore
I’ve been boycotting several brands for almost 3 years, I’ve made mistakes but I never stopped

Every time people say that the “aLgOritHm” knows them TOO well and it’s kinda creepy I become strangely happy because users are starting to make sense of dataveillance processes, and it’s ONCE AGAIN a chance for me to explain what’s surveillance capitalism

When a digital platform acts like a #market, it predicts any increase in demand and creates the illusion of more supply.
i.g. #uber predicts an increase in demand, raises the prices and creates fake taxis to give the illusion of more cars available.

Just a reminder that #google priorities the sponsored sites and not the best sites for your questions.
Digital platforms + platform capitalism facilitate the creation of monopolies.
(And it’s not only google)
