Data Cartels by Sarah LamdanIn our digital world, data is power, and information hoarders reign supreme. Sarah Lamdan brings us into the unregulated underworld of the 'data cartels,' demonstrating how the entities mining, hoarding, commodifying, and selling our data and informational resources perpetuate social inequalities and threaten the democratic sharing of knowledge. Just a few companies dominate most of our critical informational resources, from scientific research and financial data to the law. They are also data brokers, selling our personal data to law enforcement and other government agencies. Alarmingly, everything they're doing is perfectly legal.
