People who are unwilling to be part of the kind of surveillance that users of the big tech companies are (they’re paying with their personal information for services rather than money), are effectively “priced out” though. Most of my friends use Facebook and the like and I’m effectively cut out of a lot of our online interaction because I (and a few others) refuse.
Hmm, true. I didn’t consider privacy costs. But the metaphor becomes a bit hard to explain if you also need to explain that you consider the costs not as monetary but in terms of privacy.
