Pill Pod 66 - Neologism in Technofeudalism

Comments

If I understand him correctly, Yanis' solution to the 'google maps problem' is a bit different: -A 'Digital Rights Act' which gives users full property rights to their own data through legislation. -App developers will have to both get consent and pay you if they want to use a piece of your data. Which leads to a new business model where you pay for apps, instead of the user being the product. -All data is also stored anonymously on state-run servers, where companies can pay royalties to use. Economies of scale get limited since having access to too much data becomes expensive.

Glad you touch on this topic. Big fan of both Zizek and Varoufakis.
