Abstract

The collection, analysis, and use of data are the defining features of today’s world. In fact, it is safe to say that today’s world has been fundamentally datafied, particularly courtesy to the proliferation of platforms that provide structure to (and, in fact, drive) contemporary social and business practices. No less importantly, this process has encompassed not only public life but also the human body and private environments. To that effect, the observability and predictability of individuals and the capacity to turn their lives into valuable commodities have become highly pervasive, and the more so the more the dominant platforms accumulate and strengthen their network effects. As a result, then, the position of the human person is profoundly altered in the world where there is no more outside to commercial(ised) data.
