The datafied web

Hybrid frontiers
Today, a variety of actors, including traditional journalists, activists, and NGO workers, are using digital media and data to investigate emerging injustices, especially in the context of crises and wars. The Baltic States find themselves under hybrid forms of attack and other forms of injustice that emerge as a consequence of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Using 17 semi-structured interviews and short-term fieldwork with investigative practitioners f…
Introduction

How should platforms be archived? On sustainable use practices of a Telegram Archive to study Russia’s war against Ukraine
After Russia’s war against Ukraine destroyed people’s ability to move and communicate freely in Ukraine, many Ukrainians turned to social media and messenger apps, especially Telegram, to produce and share information. The vast amount of this digital data is privatized, ephemeral, and difficult to utilize for research, raising urgent questions about its sustainable accessibility and usability. In this article, we explore a specific aspect of digi…
Digitally witnessable war from pereklychka to propaganda
The witnessing of wars is being transformed by digital platforms. In this article, the authors empirically investigate and develop the novel approach to the study of witnessing, in particular the non-institutionalized form of inconspicuous digital witnessing which thrives in platform communities in the context of Russia’s war in Ukraine. By empirically examining communication practices on Telegram, a highly popular platform in Ukraine, the articl…
Situating the Internet as infrastructure
Although the Internet is a key global infrastructure, it is still often perceived in an abstract manner by the general public, which tends to disregard how the Internet emerges in different places. In contrast, this paper situates the Internet as infrastructure development in post-socialist Lithuania against the backdrop of multi-sited fieldwork within its telecom industry. Drawing on fieldwork material analysis comprised of qualitative intervie…
