Redefining Publics through Data (Recap)✦ Proprietary ecologies - the increasingly privatized
environments our data flow and lives exist within
✦ Accumulation by dispossession - enclosure of the commons to consolidate class power
✦ Social reproduction - structures & activities that reproduce everyday life that are beyond producing goods and services (i.e. tending to children, education)
✦ Cyborg - being psychologically and socially configured within information systems
✦ Deep Web - the web that cannot be indexed by search engines like Google, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo
