Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"In recent years, critical data studies from the Global South have gained traction, generating debates on power, knowledge production, and the politics of data. While these discussions challenge universalist frameworks, they also risk essentializing the ‘Global South’, requiring a more nuanced approach. This special issue centres Latin America as a site of theoretical, methodological, and empirical inquiry, highlighting its potential to generate new insights into datafication, power, and artificial intelligence. Rather than treating Latin America as a passive recipient of Global North theories, this issue foregrounds its epistemological and methodological contributions to global debates. Engaging with frameworks such as capitalism, coloniality, and dependency theory, the articles explore the region's heterogeneity and intellectual traditions in social sciences, humanities, and science and technology studies. This introduction proposes a research agenda for Latin American critical data studies – one that reflects historical legacies while envisioning possible data futures through interdisciplinary and critical engagement. It interrogates the politics of knowledge production, emphasizing the need for non-extractive, dialogical approaches to studying data in, from, and with Latin America. By centering Latin American scholarship and experiences, this special issue challenges dominant narratives in critical data studies and offers alternative theoretical perspectives that are globally informed yet locally grounded."</p><p><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517251330160" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11</span><span class="invisible">77/20539517251330160</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LatinAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LatinAmerica</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GlobalSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalSouth</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CriticalDataStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalDataStudies</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/STS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>STS</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Datafication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Datafication</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Coloniality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Coloniality</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DependencyTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DependencyTheory</span></a></p>

When I first received Pressly’s book, I groaned. Within the first few pages, I realized my mistake. The highest compliment I can pay “The Right to Oblivion” is that it rescues privacy from the lawyers. Pressly’s version of privacy has a moral content, not just a legal one. And this gives it relevance to a broader set of intellectual and political pursuits.</p><p>There is a wealth of scholarship on surveillance. Simone Browne has described its racial and racist dimensions, and Karen Levy and others have examined how digital monitoring can discipline and disempower workers. But privacy is rarely the central preoccupation in this work; other concerns, such as justice and equality, figure more prominently. With Pressly, however, privacy is defined in such a way as to seem vital to such critiques. Lawyers like to make privacy about process. Pressly makes it about power.</p><p>If that were everything the book did, it would be enough. But “The Right to Oblivion” is actually much stranger than my summary thus far suggests. The reason that Pressly feels so strongly about imposing limits on datafication is not only because of the many ways that data can be used to damage us. It is also because, in his view, we lose something precious when we become information, regardless of how it is used. In the very moment when data are made, Pressly believes, a line is crossed. “Oblivion” is his word for what lies on the other side."</p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/what-is-privacy-for" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newyorker.com/culture/the-week</span><span class="invisible">end-essay/what-is-privacy-for</span></a></p>

A market is noxious when it is morally concerning or harmful due to the types of goods or services being traded, the conditions under which trade takes place, or the consequences of such trade. In the case of housing, the noxiousness of the market is symptomatic of increased inequality in the power dynamic between tenants and landlords, difficult access to homeownership for first-buyers, high levels of homelessness, and lack of supply. In attempts to address the problems surrounding the housing market, local and national governments have proposed numerous policy solutions. However, there has been minimal attention paid to a socio-technical development that has created many of the conditions that have exacerbated the negative effects of the housing markets: datafication.</p><p>Datafication occurs when a subject is surveilled and recorded. The perceived fact that is recorded is what is referred to as data—an abstraction of the material world. Housing data is recorded information produced from the surveillance of the housing ecosystem. It is not inherently bad, as this data can be leveraged for numerous positive purposes, such as better distribution of community resources. However, in recent years, due to a general trend of increased datafication due to the internet revolution, housing data has been leveraged not to build stronger communities, but to produce economic profit. Thus, the increase in housing data has created a bifurcation of the housing market. Traditionally, from a buyer's perspective, the housing market is mainly a means to acquire shelter. We propose that increased datafication creates—and is enforcing—a shift in the market where housing is becoming increasingly noxious for those seeking lodging..."</p><p><a href="https://www.techpolicy.press/the-noxious-datafication-of-the-housing-market/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">techpolicy.press/the-noxious-d</span><span class="invisible">atafication-of-the-housing-market/</span></a></p>
