Doing a presentation soon for a group of progressive/lefty types at my college on the topic of enshittification and the internet more broadly.

The audience is non-technical, and I have no interest in convincing them to learn anything new, or make them switch their tech (real change requires collective organizing, not just consumption choices).

Any specific topics or ideas I should make a point about emphasizing? I'm thinking of going over
- network effects
- walled gardens
- surveillance pricing
- lack of privacy laws
- anti-trust

I've basically got the go ahead to talk about anything computer + political really, though. Anything else yall feel like the non-technical audience really ought to be hearing more of?
