  1. Data is a new frontier of colonisation. No anthropologist should engage with #LLM |s in their research and their teaching. Those who do, continue a dark chapter of our discipline - and they are not even writing it themselves, but have machines do it for them! #datacolonialism #AI

  6. Yesterday colonialism used maps; today algorithms occupy the human body. Technocolonialism transforms flesh into data fields, relentlessly mining attention and desire, subtly steering behavior. The body loses political agency and autonomy, becoming a profitable marketplace.

  11. In the thirteenth century, Aquinas wrote that story; he sanctified the ownership of land and the serf’s body by the lord as “divine order.” In the twenty‑first century, Yuval Noah Harari takes on the same task. Only this time, God gives way to Data, and divine order to the Algorithm.

  13. '#DataColonialism': Native Communities Fight #AI #DataCenters on #IndigenousLand

    #DemocracyNow, April 22, 2026

    "The artificial intelligence industry’s #DataCenter boom is the latest chapter in a long history of #EnvironmentalRacism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist #KrystalTwoBulls, the executive director of #HonorTheEarth, an Indigenous-led #EnvironmentalJustice organization that is tracking over 100 proposed data center projects on tribal and rural lands. We speak to Two Bulls about the myriad impacts of what she calls a 'modern-day iteration' of '#SettlerColonialism,' including #NoisePollution, #cancers and respiratory illnesses, water depletion, #EnergyGrid overload and even '#EcologicalCollapse.' As tech companies set their sights on Indigenous lands, Two Bulls says, 'We’re always the one that ends up having to sacrifice our relationship to land, air, water, our communities and our nonhuman relatives.'
