Does Big Tech have a eugenics problem? Here's Anita Say Chan in San Francisco Chronicle discussing..
So glad to have Predatory Data featured in this San Francisco Chronicle feature. Big Tech's obsession w/ surveilling + experimenting on populations, esp minorities, for political + financial profit has a precedent w/ eugenics. Predatory Data - out next wk w/ University of California Press (is on Bluesky) - is my book on this.
