INVASION AND PRIVACY

a micro-narrative by Mark M. Whelan

For real! Your chats and emails are no more than a private property of the companies in Silicon Valley. No, I warn you, that if you do not tell me we are being colonised by the imperious data companies, if you are going allow yourself to be complicit with all of these insidious tracks to manipulate and control our behaviours, to keep us triggered on cortisol or dopamine in order to guarantee impulse purchases, upon my word I believe this, I don't know you in the future, you are no longer my friend, you can unfriend me AND in the real world we can ignore each other, no longer my even my linkedin follower. Wassup? Wassup mother fucker? Am I scaring you, sit down and talk to me like you are a real person, rather than hiding behind text messages and emojis, you fake.
