Stop the Surveillance Economy
A citizen defense movement
This is not normal • This is engineered

You didn’t lose your privacy.
It was taken, one decision at a time.

Every tap, swipe, and “agree” feeds a Surveillance Economy that treats humans as training data. News feeds, political messaging, and even prices now bend around dossiers built on your behavior. Most people feel it. Very few can see it clearly.

  • ●Behavioral surveillance profiles you, predicts you, and quietly nudges your choices.
  • ●Data brokers trade in human lives as if they were ad slots and financial futures.
  • ●Institutions had years to protect you. Many didn’t understand—or chose not to act.

Not left. Not right. Human.

Why this matters

The Surveillance Economy isn’t “ads that follow you.” It’s a business model that rewards whoever can most effectively predict, steer, and monetize human behavior.

The problem isn’t just privacy violations. It’s what happens when:

  • Your attention becomes a product sold to the highest bidder.
  • Your fears and biases are amplified because they keep you scrolling.
  • Your news is shaped by engagement algorithms, not public interest.
  • Your vote becomes a “conversion event” in someone’s influence campaign.

Over time, people stop trusting institutions, stop trusting each other, and retreat into reality bubbles carefully tuned for maximum reaction.

This isn’t inevitable.

The same country that created the Surveillance Economy can decide to end it. That starts with: understanding the system, refusing to feed it blindly, demanding real oversight, and supporting leaders who put humans ahead of behavioral ad revenue.

But first, we have to admit the problem exists—and that “everyone does it” is not an acceptable answer.

How the Surveillance Economy works

It’s not one company. It’s an ecosystem: apps, trackers, data brokers, dark patterns, and algorithms feeding each other.

Step 1
Collect everything

Apps, TVs, browsers, phones, cars, and “free” services vacuum up every possible signal: clicks, swipes, locations, purchases, messages, pauses, rewinds, and dwell time.

If a device has a chip, someone has tried to turn it into a sensor.
Step 2
Build the dossier

Data brokers and platforms stitch those signals into behavioral profiles: who you are, what you fear, who you trust, what will anger you, and how likely you are to act.

These dossiers are traded, rented, and refined—usually without your knowledge.
Step 3
Test which levers move you

Algorithms run constant experiments: which headlines keep you engaged, which notifications pull you back, which narratives make you click, donate, or vote.

If outrage works better than nuance, outrage wins. Every time.
Step 4
Sell access to your future behavior

Once the system is confident in its predictions, it sells access—not just to who you are, but to who you are likely to become under the right pressure.

That’s not advertising. That’s remote control in slow motion.

What you can do

No one person can fix this alone. But no law, product, or campaign can succeed without people who understand the stakes.

Step one is simple: refuse to be a silent data point. Add your name, not as a “lead,” but as a citizen who believes this must change.

Books that map the terrain

The movement is backed by Human Perimeter Press™—an imprint dedicated to explaining and dramatizing the digital war.

Non-fiction field guides:
  • The Two Fronts of the Digital War — a concise primer on how Big Tech’s surveillance machine reshapes freedom.
  • The Citizen Defense Movement — a deeper roadmap for reclaiming autonomy and building a personal defense plan.

These books aren’t academic whitepapers. They’re written for people who have jobs, families, and limited time— but who refuse to sleepwalk through the most important shift of their lifetime.

Fiction as warning shot:

The Glitch Protocol series and related novels explore what happens if we don’t act—near-future worlds built from the same trajectories we see today.

Fiction reaches people long after headlines are forgotten. It lets readers feel the cost of doing nothing.
