In this talk, professor Delacroix argues that the deleterious effects of the profile-based optimisation of user content are best understood as a form of alienation. What is compromised is our ‘inner mobility’: our ability to continually transform the habits that shape our pre-reflective intelligence. To counter this danger, two concrete interventions are considered. They are both meant to revive the scope for normative experimentation within data-reliant infrastructures.
