Late Stage Capitalism, Marketing-Based Privacy Violations (-----)
I'm in a conference call with the company who's product we're replatforming to use, and they're showing off their built-in marketing tools.
Great fuck. Their _built in tools_ now include automated social media scraping to categorize user interests so you can market to them. You can open any customer profile and see all their calculated interests in a tag cloud.
None of this is okay. None of it. I feel sick.
