Children are datafied even before birth, with pregnancy apps and social media postings, and then tracked through babyhood with learning apps, smart home devices, and medical records. If we want to understand the emergence of the datafied citizen, Veronica Barassi argues, we should look at the first generation of datafied natives: our children. In \u003ci\u003eChild Data Citizen\u003c\/i\u003e, she examines the construction of children into data subjects, describing how their personal information is collected, archived, sold, and aggregated into unique profiles that can follow them across a lifetime.","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45032128446615,"sku":"9780262044714","price":2613.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262044714.webp?v=1769207710","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/child-data-citizen-how-tech-companies-are-profiling-us-from-before-birth-9780262044714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
