Remember, it isn&#x27;t just about planned obsolescence or the Web 2.0 centralization of everything. Read the books. Those are just the _symptoms_. All of these &quot;digital dissenters&quot; are not anti-technology... that is an oversimplification... many of them love tech (look at J-Lan!)... it is the underlying neoliberal political and economic system that _drives_ the current tech industry that they object to—aka. the California Ideology. That is what lies at the foundation of their criticism.<p>Really surprised Evgeny Morozov isn&#x27;t also tagged as a &quot;digital dissenter&quot; in this piece. Or Richard Stallman for that matter.
