Big Data and the Algorithmic Citizen
Our citizenship now exists online. Google searches, Facebook profiles, every purchase on Amazon or your smart phone – all of it contributes to a composite image of us as individuals, consumers, and citizens. John Cheney-Lippold from the University of Michigan explains how the NSA has defined citizenship based on the algorithms they use to trawl through their vast data collections.
