[Air-L] Open Internet (speech) and Economics

[MC Cambre]

In response to this, my thoughts would be that there may be a correlation
between how much debt an individual carries and their freedom (as
experienced phenomenologically perhaps) to communicate online. Some
considerations include the propensity of many employers to request Facebook
and other social media passwords or page sites as part of the interview
process. The more precarious an employee the quieter and more obedient
he/she needs to be, neoliberal subjectivation and all that.
