Ruptures in the Library
This panel of librarians and internet researchers explains the dominant Open Access business model of academic publishing and why it must be rejected. The Big 5 academic commercial publishers, Wiley, Sage, Springer-Nature, Taylor & Francis and Elsevier, bury academic knowledge in a deep-web of paywalls and prohibitive subscriptions. Transformative Agreements have emerged as a major commercial model of transitioning journals from subscription to O…
Colonial Mapping of Advance Automation
This paper argues that AI systems must be understood as extensions of centuries-old platform infrastructures rooted in empire. A telling anecdote comes from a senior Microsoft scientist who asked a generative model to depict “an Indian girl under a tree reading a book.” Instead of producing her desired childhood reflection, the system defaulted to white, Western images—revealing how foundation models encode colonial value systems. Like Stuart Hal…
Abolish privacy
This is a manifesto to reject calls to “online privacy.” Privacy is an inherently exclusionary liberal entitlement inextricably linked to property, racial oppression, sexual control and class segregation. However online privacy is uncritically promoted by academics, activists and media discourse as a civil right and even a form of social justice. We build on the arguments of feminist, queer, Black Radical traditions and GDPR legal scholars to mak…
Anticolonial Platform Studies
Platforms like Amazon, Google, Uber, Apple iOS, and Pinduoduo currently coordinate planetary activity on a massive scale. Critical theorists concerned with labor, education, incarceration, sex, migration, or life on earth must reckon with the global dominance of platforms. Expert insight comes from the twenty-year-old field of platform studies, which documents, explains, and tackles the rise of corporate platforms. However, platform studies fails…
Revolutionary Tactics
This paper conducts a survey of the term “privacy” in mainstream media usage. This paper finds that "internet privacy" is mistakenly promoted as a civil right. Although real civil rights privacy infractions are accelerating at an unprecedented rate due to the rise of algorithmic governance in the carceral system, healthcare and welfare, these issues are not the focus of mainstream “privacy” concerns, which instead focus on consumer entitlements. …
Unfree; Indentured; Influencer
Academic scholars from various disciplines have critiqued the nature of migration regimes in which foreign domestic workers (FDW) are hired, drawing from the fields of social, health, and economic justice. We focus on FDWs in Singapore, where these conditions are enforced and rationalized through laws and government-owned-media that entrench socially constructed divisions. This paper considers how the reality of “influencers” who are "unfree" cha…
Declarations of Interdependence
The primary goals of media literacy are laudable: active and critical thinking about the messages we receive and the messages we create. In practice, media literacy standardizes limited ways of knowing and normalizes built-in biases. Subsequently, its narrow emphasis on skill development, particularly the role of fact-checking, content creation, and independent research are all practices that can be exploited, oftentimes leading to the amplificat…
Personal Identity Economics
This article examines Facebook's role in the treatment of marginalized identity as currency. Recent examples of solidarity statements and corporate social responsibility rhetoric treat disenfranchised racial and gender identities as value-added competitive market quantities to boost brands. This trend also incentivizes marginalized actors to capitalize on their own disenfranchisement in pursuit of visibility and career advancement. The resulting …
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Facebook
Scholars and news media generally name Facebook's two central problems: that its data collection practices are a threat to user privacy, and that stricter regulations are required to prevent 'bad actor' from spreading hate and disinformation. However separating these two concerns-personal data collection and bad actors-overlooks the way that one generates the other. First, this article builds on critical race scholarship to examine how identity p…
