Data Cartels

In this audiobook, Sarah Lamdan explores the shadowy world of data cartels—powerful companies that control vast amounts of information, often operating within legal boundaries that enable them to influence and manipulate digital spaces. She examines how these entities impact social equity, privacy, and democracy through their dominance of critical informational resources. Lamdan argues for rethinking the regulation of data, suggesting that treating information as a public good and building supportive digital infrastructure are essential steps toward aligning technology with democratic values.
