Facebook and ‘dumb fucks’ hacking
I have the cover story in the September edition of Australian Book Review.
Here’s a taste:
Facebook was never about hacking computers. It was always about hacking data; bending people instead of software. Its modus operandi is to hoover up as much digital information as possible about as many people as possible, algorithmically tweak that data to predict and shift human behaviour, and, in the process, make money.
