We want to congratulate our Prof. Ojelanki Ngwenyama on the recent publication of his paper in Information Systems Research (ISR) (5-year Impact Factor: 7.2) entitled "The Open Prison of the Big Data Revolution: False Consciousness, Faustian Bargains, and Digital Entrapment"

Available via Open Access at the link below:
https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/epdf/10.1287/isre.2020.0588

Abstract:
Although some scholars raise alarm about societal harm emerging from Big Data practices, critical social theory (CST) Information Systems research on the structures and dynamics driving Big Data practices is rare. In this research commentary, we interrogate how tech firms use social practices and platform design to strategically manipulate individuals into accepting datafication and data assetization that accrue positive data network effects for themselves and mostly negative data network effects (economic loss, social and privacy harm) for individuals. We draw on the ideas of Heidegger and Marcuse to critically question the Big Data paradigm in order to develop better understanding of the social implications for individuals and society. Using the concepts of false consciousness, digital entrapment, and Faust-ian bargains, we critically inquire into the Big Data practices that keep us tethered to digital platforms. Specifically, we interrogate sociomaterial structures that socially condition indivi-duals into a digital habitus and to identify themselves as homo digitalis, who view all their โ€œrelationsโ€ (social and economic) as digital. This social conditioning reproduces a false conscious-ness that constricts our worldview, undermines our rational choices, and enables the risky compromises we make with tech companies that manipulate and exploit us with their increas-ingly oppressive Big Data practices and related dark patterns. We critically analyze the case of Microsoft Viva to provide an illustration of how mundane digital tools can condition our real-ity and entrap us into an open prison. We argue that if we do not critically interrogate our false consciousness of the digital and understand how digital giants colonize our social systems by structurally embedding Big Data practices, we will continue to be susceptible to manipulation and digital entrapment. Ongoing risky compromises with tech firms will erode the very foun-dations of the โ€œgood life,โ€ freedom, liberty, and personal privacy, and they will institutional-ize the open prison. The CST explanation we propose and the research agenda we outline are meant to encourage research into solutions to the digital entrapment problem.
