refuse the assumption that risk & harm associated w data practices can be bounded to mean same thing for everyone, everywhere, at every time; acknowledge how historical & systemic patterns of violence & exploitation produce differential vulnerabilities
refuse to be disciplined by data, devices & practices that seek to shape & normalize racialized, gendered & differently-abled bodies that track, monitor & surveil; commit to taking back control over the ways we behave, live, and engage with data and its technologies.
3. We refuse the use of data about people in perpetuity. We commit to embracing agency and working with intentionality, preparing bodies or corpuses of data to be laid to rest when they are not being used in service to the people about whom they were created.
refuse to understand data as disembodied & thereby dehumanized & departicularized; commit to understanding data as always & variously attached to bodies; vow to interrogate biopolitical implications of data w keen eye to all forms of embodied difference
Data can - and should always - resist reduction. Data is a thing, a process, and a relationship we make and put to use. We can make it and use it differently.
