It is actually not Silicon Valley. Media/publishers have been too lazy to do the work, and embraced ad economy without as much a thought. Plus, you don’t get a bonus for thinking, just getting more ad revenues

Adtech is the Silicon Valley business model if you look at what’s invested in and what’s produced. Where do we/can we draw the line between Silicon Valley and media/publishers today? Many so-called publishers are actually adtech firms (eg., see quote from Axel Springer in Europe)pic.twitter.com/i0EDzkiLmh

Unfortunately you are wrong. Silicon Valley is much bigger than just ad-tech driven media/web. Let’s not onflate that with companies focused on tough stuff. I don’t think you can absolve traditional media/pubs from their role in helping make surveillance capitalism so pervasive.

I look forward to seeing the non-VC funded, decentralised, free/open, interoperable & non-surveillance-based technologies that come to define Silicon Valley in the future. Until then, all I have to go on is what has already been funded/built/is celebrated/& defines the ideology.

But just because it's there doesn't mean we have to abuse it.

I agree. Web scripting was tied to the idea of a sandbox early on, but no standard (or law!) built strong privacy into that sandbox.
