The article discusses surveillance capitalism and targeted advertising through Kantian ethical frameworks, emphasizing the moral implications of manipulating individuals' autonomy. It argues that surveillance practices violate the principle of respect for individual dignity by treating people as means to an end. Manifesting social inequality, these practices lack transparency and informed consent, thus contravening ethical duties under Kant's deontological perspective. Ultimately, it insists on the necessity of upholding moral autonomy and the significance of informed decision-making in an increasingly surveilled society.
According to the classical Kantian framework, the lack of autonomy induced by Surveillance Capitalism is completely unjustified and morally wrong, violating individual dignity.
The manipulation of people's decision-making process under Surveillance Capitalism is disrespectful to their moral autonomy, treating them merely as means to an end.
