## Resource

Platforms have one overriding goal: to keep us online as long as possible. And they’ve learned that nothing hooks us like outrage. But here's something many people don't realize: privacy and surveillance have everything to do with it. In this video I want to explore how surveillance is the key to polarization and how, ultimately, it's the engine that makes platform-driven polarization work. 00:00 We’re More Polarized Than Ever 00:27 Outrage 02:08 Manipulation 08:47 Targeting vs Filter Bubbles 10:05 What We Should Do Privacy is our ally in this fight. The less companies and governments know about us, the harder it is for them to manipulate us. Privacy protects our autonomy in the digital age. We don't need to be led by the mob around us and be a tool in their propaganda war. It's time to reclaim our autonomy.
