But that's not what's going on here. It's not that anyone has taken a stand against business motives or impersonal exploitation of incidental intimacy, within the context of this particular story.

In these anecdotes, the people mentioned are rebelling for different reasons, in an effort to control choices relating to personal habits, as they modify what are perceived as necessary social obligations and compulsory public behavior, when interacting with modern technology and devices.

These are really two sides of the same coin. Commercial companies are getting people to behave in ways that are contrary to their own benefit. Now the people are starting to realize it, and are stopping. Soon the commercial companies will realize what is happening, and I guess go into some sort of panic.
