Look up "surveillance capitalism"... It's for directed marketing and algorithmic attention manipulation. It Chomsky's idea of the "very lively debate within a narrow range of ideas" combined with Fouccalt's idea of the Panopticon.

As Adorno said of the consumer culture industry: "Something is provided for all, so that none may escape".
