Digitization has transformed the way we interact with our social, 
political and economic environments. While it has enhanced the potential 
for citizen agency, it has also enabled the collection and analysis of 
unprecedented amounts of personal data. This requires us to 
fundamentally rethink our understanding of digital citizenship, based on 
an awareness of the ways in which citizens are increasingly monitored, 
categorized, sorted and profiled.


Drawing on extensive empirical research, Digital Citizenship in a 
Datafied Society offers a new understanding of citizenship in an age 
defined by data collection and processing. The book traces the social 
forces that shape digital citizenship by investigating regulatory 
frameworks, mediated public debate, citizens' knowledge and 
understanding, and possibilities for dissent and resistance.
