Digital citizenship in a datafied society

摘要

The Snowden revelations of 2013 left the world with a disturbing double-sided knowledge. On the one hand, the widely reported case proved beyond doubt that state actors in tandem with tech companies deploy digital mass surveillance, targeting millions of internet users' everyday activities. On the other hand, citizens became aware that this mode of operation was unlikely to change and that, as individuals, they could do little to prevent it. This new epistemological state of normality provides the backdrop for Digital citizenship in a datafied society, which offers one of the most comprehensive critical investigations of surveillance, datafication, and digital citizenship to date.
