In an age where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, understanding its profound impact on our minds and finances is crucial. Big Tech Exposed: How Algorithms Control Your Mind & Money unravels the intricate web of digital manipulation techniques that big tech companies employ to capture our attention, influence our behaviors, and commodify our personal data. From the grips of social media addiction to the insidious presence of dark patterns in UX design, this book delves deep into the ways algorithms perpetuate bias in hiring and healthcare, exacerbating inequality and discrimination.
Explore the hidden world of data brokers exposed, where personal data security becomes a battleground against relentless data harvesting and surveillance capitalism. Learn how AI surveillance privacy erodes anonymity and threatens civil liberties, as predictive analytics and location tracking technologies monitor and analyze personal behavior on an unprecedented scale. Big Tech Exposed also sheds light on the gig economy exploitation, highlighting the precarious nature of freelance labor rights and the rise of digital serfdom that undermines economic stability.
Amidst these challenges, discover practical digital self-defense strategies to protect your online privacy. Equip yourself with the best VPN services, ad blockers for privacy, and privacy-enhancing technologies that fortify your digital footprint against invasive surveillance. The book emphasizes the importance of digital literacy and ethical AI development, advocating for fair tech practices and technology regulation reforms that promote transparency and accountability in the tech industry.
