Summary
We are told that accepting widespread corporate surveillance is a natural progression for human civilization. Peter Schwartz, a senior vice president at Salesforce: “Gradually, we will accept much, much greater surveillance. And in the end we won’t be too bothered by it.” Thomas Friedman in 2014: “Privacy is over.” Mark Zuckerberg in 2010: “The age of privacy is over.” Sun Microsystem’s former CEO Scott McNealy in 1999: We “have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”1
