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.
