The article proposes an analysis of the mechanisms and consequences of the expropriation of personal data on the Internet, and in particular on social platforms, in order to extract added value and capitalize in new areas of life, such as informal communication and interpersonal information exchange. The development of this practice leads to the emergence of new forms of hidden coercion and dependence of modern people: digital slavery, the alienating effect of (higher) education and the loss of the historical context of human consciousness and worldview due to the lack of historical thinking and knowledge as a process of dehistoricization. An analysis of such phenomena leads to the conclusion that in order to over-come them, not only is a legal regulation necessary, but also a revision of the principles of modern social, economic and technical progress, which lead to the imposition of technological domination in the world as an automatic, blind process. Such a revision is beyond the power of technologists and technocrats, because it requires humanitarian knowledge and approach.
