Data procurement and market power in the Dutch public sector: How to become a stronger buyer
Governments around the world are actively exploring how they can tackle societal problems through data-driven decision-making. As much data is now in the hands of the private sector, governments increasingly resort to purchasing data from private sources. There is, however, scant empirical evidence and a lack of understanding of the experiences of governments with this practice. This study therefore asks the following questions: how do government…
Data for Sale: Uncovering public procurement of private sector data in The Netherlands
To address complex societal challenges, governments increasingly need to make evidence-based decisions and require the best available data as input. As much of relevant data is now in the hands of the private sector, governments increasingly resort to purchasing data from private sources. There is, however, scant empirical evidence and a lack of understanding of how governments go about data purchasing. Therefore, we develop a new conceptual-anal…
There is no such thing as a digital twin: Deconstructing sociotechnical imaginaries of digital twin technologies in Dutch urban governance
Within the context of three-dimensional simulations of urban space and their variables within, digital twin technologies (DTs) are touted as making urban governance and planning effective, calculable, evidence-based while reducing costs and complexity. We conducted 3 years of in-depth fieldwork on the application of DTs for urban governance in the Netherlands. Our empirical and critical analysis shows that DTs are not characterized by a novel qua…
The Gab Project: The Methodological, Epistemological, and Legal Challenges of Studying the Platformized Far Right
In this article we describe our five-year research project on the notorious radical free speech service and fringe platform Gab. During these years we scraped an entire platform, prepared it into a dataset for analysis, and opened it up to a broader community of students and researchers. Each of these projects provides us not just with a small slice of platformized far-right culture but also with a larger sphere of a fringe platform. However, the…
