"And I'm sure after Facebook it will be the little cameras that we have implanted into the palms of our hands and we'll be debating whether we should get them, and then we'll all get them"
About this Quote
The specific intent isn’t really about palm cameras; it’s about the social machinery that makes invasive tools feel normal. Eisenberg, forever associated with The Social Network, is riffing on Facebook’s aftertaste: the way platforms reshape privacy not by force, but by incentives, frictionless design, and a slow-moving peer pressure that turns refusal into inconvenience. Implant tech is an exaggeration, but it’s the right kind of exaggeration: close enough to wearables, biometrics, and always-on recording that it feels less like fantasy than a slightly accelerated product roadmap.
Subtext: the “debate” is mostly theater, a content cycle that gives legitimacy to a decision already made by network effects. Once enough people have it, the holdouts become the weird ones, then the excluded ones, then the ones who “have something to hide.” Eisenberg’s bleak little “we’ll all” isn’t about consent; it’s about capitulation dressed up as progress.
