Data Equality: The Impact and Original Sin of the New Business Culture

Zipei Tu ()

Chapter Chapter 1 in The New Civilization Upon Data, 2022, pp 1-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Civilization forms when rules are set to govern it. The source of our digital civilization’s transformative power is business. This chapter begins with the achievements and setbacks of the new business culture that has propelled digital culture, and it contains a basic argument about how data rights should be treated. Just as with land, there’s a simple question about this new asset: should it be privately held or publicly owned? The answers to that question could serve as an ideological or doctrinal litmus test; those answers represent choices for the path that a digital civilization might take. If data can be a privately held asset, existing business and finance structures will be transformed, along with our own personal lives.
