Data Colonialism: The Capitalist Cost of Connectivity and the Cost of Expanding Source Connectivity
数据殖民主义：连接的代价与资本扩张 Data Colonialism: The Capitalist Cost of Connectivity and the Cost of Expanding Source Connectivity: How Data Colonizes Human Life and Appropriates It as the Cost of Service Connectivity (Nick Couldry, Ulises Mejias) The Cost of Connectivity, profoundly analyzes the rise of data colonialism, pointing out that the tech party is transforming human life into capital extraction through social welfare sectors. Authors Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias argue that this new form of exploitation is not metaphorical, but a tragedy of historical colonialism, which not only encroaches on the individual but also expands human autonomy through calculated violations of privacy laws and continuous simulated surveillance. By revealing the economic costs behind "hidden connectivity," this book calls on readers to recognize and resist this holistic vision that completely commodifies life. To address this challenge, the book proposes a decolonization concept aimed at redefining the relationship between humanity and technology, safeguarding the foundation of self-sovereignty as freedom.
