Surveillance capitalism threatens novel rights like the right to the future tense
Evidence
The new harms we face entail challenges to the sanctity of the individual, and chief among these challenges I count the elemental rights that bear on individual sovereignty, including the right to the future tense and the right to sanctuary. Each of these rights invokes claims to individual agency and personal autonomy as essential prerequisites to freedom of will and to the very concept of democratic order. — Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, 167
Categorization
- DEFINE: Introduces and defines the ‘right to the future tense’ and ‘right to sanctuary’ as novel harms distinct from known ones like privacy and monopoly.
- QUESTION: The ‘right to the future tense’ and ‘right to sanctuary’ are intriguingly specific — worth pushing on what concrete scenarios each defends against.
