Abstract
This chapter explores the challenges of data-driven surveillance. It provides an overview of platforms that depend on data, gathered from multiple sources wherein data-gathering relies on the everyday involvement of people going about their daily lives in digital environments. Data are deliberately gathered to be analysed through algorithms for the various purposes that platform companies have in mind. The chapter elaborates on the spread of surveillance capitalism, which erodes the limits and legal regulations by the government that were once placed on commercial practices. It also introduces the notion of predictive policing, which is about how data may be used to say what sorts of criminal activity are likely to occur, where, and when.
Keywords: data, algorithms, data-driven surveillance, platforms, data-gathering, surveillance capitalism, predictive policing, commercial practices, companies
