Sessions

The trillion-dollar platform(s) in your pocket: who really owns your smartphone?

Jennifer Pybus, Alistair Alexander

Info
In this workshop we’ll take apart the smartphone to show why – and how - it is so central to the digital platform economy. We’ll explain exactly how mobile platforms work to extract our data and maximise their market power. We’ll take a look at app “Manifests”, mobile “SDK”s, show what data is collected, and consider recent privacy regulation.
