Abstract

The following work intends to make a theoretical and critical contribution to ongoing debates on the generation and management of digital data. One of the main proposals for its administration lies in the implementation of a free data market. The article aims to investigate its consequences, which would culminate in the progressive commodification of areas outside the market as well as furthering the financialization of everyday life characteristic of neoliberalism. The paper is composed of three sections: the first section delves into a characterization of digital platforms where data is generated; the second reconstructs the main stances of the position advocating for its commodification; the third unravels the consequences that follow from this proposal.
