Beyond Digital Ethics
“By contrast, I’ve long supported a focus on culture over corporations. Instead of quixotically convincing some of the most valuable business enterprises in the history of the world to behave against their interests, we should convince individuals to adopt a much more skeptical and minimalist approach to the digital junk these companies peddle.”
I've followed Newport's blog for quite a while and found this a compelling way to think about digital ethics. While I would love it if the large tech companies did the right thing, capitalism doesn't push them to do that. While I agree individuals have control and can and should reject much of this, it isn't always easy.
