Your life online is their product.In the past, colonialism was a landgrab of natural resources, exploitative labour and private property from countries around the world. It promised to modernise and civilise, but actually sought to control. It stole from native populations and made them sign contracts they didn’t understand. It took resources just because they were there.Colonialism has not disappeared – it has taken on a new form.In the new world order, data is the new oil. Big Tech companies are grabbing our most basic natural resources – our data – exploiting our labour and connections, and repackaging our information to control our views, track our movements, record our conversations and discriminate against us. Every time we unthinkingly click ‘Accept’ on Terms and Conditions, we allow our most personal information to kept indefinitely, repackaged by big Tech companies to control and exploit us for their own profit.In this searing, cutting-edge guide, two leading global researchers – and founders of the concept of data colonialism – reveal how history can help us both to understand the emerging future and to fight back.

Brought to you by Penguin.If you''re not paying for the product, then you are the product.In the past, colonialism was a landgrab of natural resources, exploitative labour and private property from developing countries. It made shiny promises to modernise and civilise, but actually sought to control. It made native populations sign contracts they didn''t understand, and took resources just because they were there.Colonialism has not disappeared it has taken a new form. In the new world order where data is the new oil, big Tech companies are grabbing our most basic natural resources - our data - exploiting our labour and connections, and repackaging our information to control our views, track our movements, record our conversations and discriminate against us. They tell us this is for our own good, to build innovation and develop new technology. But in fact every time we unthinkingly click ''Accept'' on Terms and Conditions, we allow our most personal information to kept indefinitely, repackaged by big Tech companies to control and exploit us for their own profit.This is the era of data colonialism. The new colonial landgrab is a DATAGRAB.In this searing, cutting-edge guide, two leading global researchers and founders of the concept of data colonialism reveal how history can help us understand the emerging future - and how we can fight back.©2024 Nick Couldry and Ulises A.

Costs of Connection
How Data Is Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating It for Capitalism

Just about any social need is now met with an opportunity to "connect" through digital means. But this convenience is not free—it is purchased with vast amounts of personal data transferred through shadowy backchannels to corporations using it to generate profit. The Costs of Connection uncovers this process, this "data colonialism," and its designs for controlling our lives—our ways of knowing; our means of production; our political participation.Colonialism might seem like a thing of the past, but this book shows that the historic appropriation of land, bodies, and natural resources is mirrored today in this new era of pervasive datafication. Apps, platforms, and smart objects capture and translate our lives into data, and then extract information that is fed into capitalist enterprises and sold back to us. The authors argue that this development foreshadows the creation of a new social order emerging globally—and it must be challenged. Confronting the alarming degree of surveillance already tolerated, they offer a stirring call to decolonize the internet and emancipate our desire for connection.

Wir leben in einer neuen Form von Kolonialismus, das zeigen die weltweit renommierten Forscher Nick Couldry und Ulises A. Mejias, die das Konzept des Datenkolonialismus begründet haben. In der Vergangenheit war der Kolonialismus eine Landnahme von natürlichen Ressourcen und Ausbeutung von Arbeit und Privateigentum. Er gab vor, zu modernisieren und zu zivilisieren, aber in Wirklichkeit ging es um Kontrolle. Der Kolonialismus ist nicht verschwunden, sondern hat eine neue Form angenommen. Große Technologieunternehmen beuten unsere wichtigsten und grundlegendsten Ressourcen – unsere Daten – aus. Sie verpacken unsere Informationen und Verbindungen neu, um Profit zu machen, unsere Ansichten zu kontrollieren, unsere Bewegungen zu verfolgen, unsere Gespräche aufzuzeichnen und gegen uns zu verwenden. Nick Couldry und Ulises A. Mejias zeigen auf, wie die Geschichte uns helfen kann, die sich abzeichnende Zukunft der Ausbeutung zu verstehen – und wie wir uns wehren können.

Critical Data Studies as a field looks at data as an instrument of power, making it a focal point for a number of important discussions about our increasingly datafied realities. This handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of Critical Data Studies, looking at data as a site of contested meanings and politics. Its chapters reflect a multidisciplinary approach that includes a diverse set of perspectives from academic fields like Sociology, Science and Technology Studies, Information Science, Political Economy, Digital Humanities, and Media, Environmental, Feminist and Postcolonial studies. The handbook’s five sections focus on contextualizing Critical Data Studies, discussing its methodologies, situating its economic and legal dimensions, presenting multiple case studies and examples, and examining the forms of resistance that it can engender. Readers will benefit from exposure to diverse frames of analysis that seek not only to examine the current ways in which data impacts our lives, but to provide models for thinking about practical responses to these processes.
