On 14th February 2019 the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee issued its final report on Disinformation and ‘fake news.’ The report states that “big tech companies” must be subject to “proper regulatory oversight” and that “legislative tools... must now be applied.”
In January 2019, Prof. Shoshana Zuboff, from Harvard Business School, published her book on “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.” In April 2018, John Honeyball argued that for many corporations “You are the product.”
