Using mental health, surveillance, and social media as weapons Another Side of Capitalism

Abstract

Executives' lived experiences and subjective information about every action (ethical concern) you
take is carefully monetised and corroborated; false conspiracy theories and fake news, like different
coronavirus ideas, spread six times faster on social media. This is an example of how propaganda and
weaponising social media can lead to polarisation and division. This kind of cosmetic surgery is very
popular among teens, and plastic surgeons have even named it a new disease. Persuasive technology
takes everything we know about how people think and feel to make a technological business attention
capture model that can change people's behaviour for growth hacking. Executives at Twitter looked
into the idea of "surveillance capitalism," which says that everyone online is being watched, chased,
and planned. Tim Kendall, who used to work for Twitter, was senior vice president of engineering in
2021. Members of the company quit in June 2017 over ethics issues. On the bright side, these sites
have brought back together family members who had died. They've looked for blood donors and
saved lives. Because of these platforms, there is a real-time, creative change around the world, but
there is another side to look at. This inquiry shines light on the connection between using social
media as a tool, mental health, and monitoring.
