The Costs of Connection: how data is colonizing human life and appropriates it for capitalism – webinar

This new „data colonialism” is based not on the extraction of natural resources or labour, but on the appropriation of human life through data, paving the way for a further stage of capitalism. Today’s transformations of social life through data must therefore be grasped within the long historical arc of dispossession as both a new colonialism and an extension of capitalism.
