Data has always been valuable, even before Surveillance Calitalism. But now with the rise of AI, the owners of social platforms that were easily accessible are now making it harder to hoard the data because they realize they can use it for their own LLM training

Not to mention data's various other uses like advertising/marketing, selling of it foreign governments/advesaries/law enforcement agencies, etc.
