Problems in protections for working data subjects: Becoming strangers to ourselves

Problems in protections for working data subjects: the social relations of data production' argues that existing AI and data and privacy regulation does not sufficiently provide protections from harm in the context of data extraction and mining. This is because the approaches taken are individualist in relational positioning and do not take into account differences across data subject types. The argument updates legal philosophical arguments which are mired in propertarian and identitarian assumptions for how harms can be prevented, but what is needed is a discussion of the social relations of data production.
