What I miss most in many theories about the "value of data" is a clear statement on who creates that value. This is extremely relevant because this "who" is also the revolutionary subject.

I AM NOT INTERESTED.
WHEN I WANT PORN, I GO FIND IT MYSELF.

The Colorado Supreme Court justices who ruled to bump former President Donald Trump from the ballot have already been inundated with violent threats that include the warning “this ends when we kill these f---ers,” and that could spell trouble for the entire nation, a former FBI official warns.
