DATA GRAB - ULISES A MEJIAS NICK COULDRY KARTON...

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.
