"Serfdom of the Self" eesh that's bleak
What I call Serfdom of the Self is when our identities, attention, and even emotions become dependent on digital systems we don’t control. We hand over more of our inner lives to these systems, and in return they decide the conditions of our existence.

From the sitting FCC Commissioner:
