I am one of those people who really likes it.
And I hate it too, and for all the reasons given here. (Did not check them all, but it is a pretty safe bet.)
Hating it all means I am on board with activism, advocacy, law, whatever we need to do in order to establish / extend the Bill Of Rights into digital spaces.
Society, tech and the law have collided and that mess is ongoing and expanding. Imagine one of those cars smashing into a train with the dummy in it.
It crumples, folds, then pieces fly off, the dummy takes damage, and just down the track is a truck, and a bus with kids in it, and so on...
That train is heavy, well powered with spiffy tech, and it is powering right through the public!
Hate it, but I am quite sure I can't do much, even resisting, doing all the work to anonymize, is a total PITA. Drains the value right out of it all, out of me, my life, and I just do not have time for it, unless a lot of us have time together somehow.
And I think dollars are the only language our oppressors, abusers, and the like will both hear and act on because they must!
Lessig wrote about things that regulate our behavior:
Norms. They do not prevent anything, but do reward or punish.
Law. Like norms, but with real teeth well beyond praise and shunning.
Physics. The rules of the world will prevent actions. The more we understand, the more this world permits.
Money / markets. These also can prevent things. If we cannot afford an action...
It will take a lot of us setting norms, doing things that cost, and all of that rolling up into law more relevant than this current "wild west" is.
I really like it because I get to do things, have access to information that was the stuff of dreams not so long ago.
It is all as empowering as it is exploitative.
