    Your personality is not proprietary and will be used for profit.

    You will continue to provide shareholder value, even in death.

    Your family and loved ones can only look on in horror as your digitally reanimated corpse slings ads for products and services to pull more victims into the machine.

    The machine hungers.

      I would have probably never thought that 16 years after it’s release, A Serbian Film would be an accidentally good allegory for American tech and social media platforms.

      There will be people whose entire lives have been archived on Facebook. From mom peeing on a stick till they die. Because even if they don’t sign up for Facebook, they will know people who use it and those people will post pictures, video clips and anecdotes about them without even asking. So yeah, some people’s entire life history will be owned by Facebook.

      That’s one reason why I fucking never posted pics of any of my nieces and nephews while I still had a profile on that hellsite.

      Yeah, they should be able to have a little necromancy, you know, as a treat.

      Imagine if they get hold of artificial organs, and then they ship-of-Theseus people until their consciousness controls a fully artificial body. Unable to die, drowning in medical debt, the dead labor on. I bet that would generate a lot of value for stakeholders.

      Your life is entertainment to be packaged and sold for profit by those who own the packaging companies.
