by the state of new jersey and its ties to the land which now sits in the midst of this private gated community go back generations the very name of the township comes from the line op a word for meeting place nevertheless their neighbors continued to complain about the gatherings and the fines began to add up after a few years totaling more than $4000000.00 the neighborhood association in the town neither of whom would speak to al-jazeera sued the tribe but then a turning point for their legal team the u.s. justice department came to their defense when you have the department of justice coming in and saying well what we see appears to be happening here is a violation of the right to religious freedom that's something a federal court judge is going to take very seriously. in a settlement the township agreed to drop all fives and allow the ceremonies to

some. of these. and they want to arrest them. they have to and they have. to finish these but actually you can see that they. actually encouraged by every single hong kong people to come out and join the movement so. i think 1st thing. the regime and the 2nd is they want to spread out and spread the. protesters. internationally recognized president says the u.a.e. has been launching air strikes against his forces in the southern port city of aden . they've been targeting terrorists. u.a.e. coalition forces middle east analysts here gord noble explains why saudi arabia and

the u.a.e. are divided particularly over 8. from a saudi perspective what they had always wanted is to ensure that they are not they a threat that can operate across the border and launch attacks what its rocket attacks or or drone attacks into saudi arabia what the united arab emirates wants to do instead of course is to establish an independent sovereign state and these 2 objectives to do not align and this is also why president hadi who has been in self-imposed exile in saudi arabia for so long as 6 pressing the outrage that he's doing at this moment the brazilian president has signed a decree banning the practice of burning for the purpose of clearing it he is on the pressure of wildfires raging across the amazon region. those are your headlines the news continues here on the old feel the algorithm i'll have a quick summary for you in 28 minutes i'll see that.

after 25 years of affording the world's waist china through the global with cycling industry into chaos. the growing pressure of the greenest skies eve resulting in change we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on al-jazeera. you think of some of the biggest companies in the world today there's google amazon microsoft facebook we check all of them big tech with algorithms at that. one more than just uses all custom is will these businesses would generate is a data they need us to like them for them to be indispensable because the more that we use them the more data we produce where in the midst of a great race the dot and big tech companies are on the chase.

for the past 3 years academics nichol dri and alyssa. have been investigating a phenomenon they call data colonialism. while the scales of context may have changed they say colonialism same underlying functions of empire building extraction and appropriation remain the new langue grab going on there's not land that's being grabbed it's us it's human life the acquisition of the construction of data valuable data for corporate use out of the flow of our lives that's the lag right going on and that's why the workload is the only work it does justice to that let's think for instance of all the and use her license agreements or the terms of use that we read whenever we sign up for

a new social media platform if we think about the process of being asked to agree to something that we cannot even understand when signing away certain rights signing away our property in this act i think it's a very interesting we're not for one moment saying. colonialism today with data in both the same horrific level of violence that was involved in the beginnings of kolo to this. point saying that the core of historic colonus and was the force to involve people in a massive new system a new order a new organization of the world economy in the history of kuoni listen we've had different empires times of course we can think of this kranish empire the british empire i think we would say at this point in history in terms of data colonialism we have 2 centers of power and we have the united states on one side and china in the other and of course we know the american corporations very well in terms of

kugel facebook amazon me we don't know the chinese corporations very well because their reach is just beginning to expand. beyond china so far trying out has been kind of like an internal colony but we are starting to see how these corporations. the infrastructure developed in trying out is starting to expand into different parts of the world including asia and africa. but china's biggest private company well way technology's africa has been a goldmine of so it's countries like south africa nigeria kenya which is where now have delivered some of the biggest most rapidly growing telecom. has studied the wild way of hearing. their building products for example better suited to the african market the cheapest mobile phone that you can get in various african markets it's a chinese phone so you will not for

a moment but you looked on one to both people to the site and they are building relationships with governments they are providing infrastructure so while we has provided a lot of infrastructure for. surveillance in kenya and i see team kenya to work in every country with its developed by the people somewhere in the middle and that's really useful for governments here so we advise you know on that government data centers on the economy and services or anything else we can share those experiences from around the world and the nice thing is of course it provides benefits of people connected business so that generating revenue for us as well but the other piece of the chinese influence is the surreptitious war there's a lot of questions about data collection with technology that's coming in from china and in some ways it's the other side of the korean right there's a whole lot of data that's being taken out from african countries and from african citizens to be kept handled used by people who are not necessarily responsible

for answerable to african people so while it is not. access people's data or cell data so i don't think that we are the kind of company. that are benefitting off people's data of the only data that we are using it just to improve our products themselves such as using artificial intelligence our smartphones in our network equipment so that it can then improve be faster there are skeptics who would question adam's assertion after all most big tech companies do exploit user darter in some way however even if while way doesn't do it there are other chinese operations in africa that collect and make extensive use of people's data. here in nairobi the dominance of chinese tech is undeniable from telecommunication lines to satellite networks right down to the planes in people's hands and the apps on those funds chinese companies have this market and much of the daughter produces in its

crouse transience holdings for instance sells to over 40 percent of the mobile market in sub-saharan africa it's fun someone to the brand name stick no i tell and in phoenix but its strategy doesn't end with the hardware data driven apps like the music streaming service blue play and digital payment platform pompei add to a growing repository of data on african users and can help boost money making opportunities for transition when you think about it and i think any i think the thing that gets lost is that the primary objective it was about money was fundamentally about using power using culture using all these kinds of tools to impose one society in another society is still of the 1st society could make money off of that where you define corner as a map that then you really start to see the residences in china has been investing in africa many parts of asia for 2030 years very systematically is never

pretended that it is doing anything other than expanding its economic interests it does not use. civilizing rhetoric because it doesn't need to let's contrast that for the moment with a company like microsoft which talks about democratizing ai or facebook to this concerned to give as it were connection cometary can just be a privilege for some of the rich and powerful and needs to be something that everyone shares. facebook has made a big push to present itself as a benevolent force to get people online since 2013 the company has been leading a giant project called internet dot all sort of gateway to the world wide web for those with poor connectivity. the app that serves as the portal to facebook's version of the internet is called free basics and it's been launched in at least 60 countries more than half of them in africa the idea is to provide access to select

sites without data charges in effect it's a stripped down version of the internet that has one very important component guaranteed connection with facebook and guaranteed possibilities of data extraction which is why despite the company's slick marketing not everyone is convinced that this is an entirely selfless exercise non-jury cimbali is a leading to do rights advocate i think what's most interesting in the it what i'll call technicalities is the rush to connect the unconnected and the rush to retain the connected in very specific platforms a lot of these actors will do anything and everything to make sure at some point either of these users go through their platforms because it's all about the data it's all about how much data can i get about people so that can sell ads so that you know can create predictive things to keep them hooked into what i'm able to offer and therefore the world will keep churning there's no way that a lot of these tech companies will be able to behave in their home countries the

way they behave in the developing world there is no way that you would be able to roll out a project as big as free basic. without some kind of check or ballet this would sound without some kind of ethic or. there was no effort to even say this is what this means this is how this will work for you and that is really telling rate of what they think that african people want and or need from the internet projects that are largely in this case emerging from a silicon valley west in america centric approach to connecting and connected really deeply steeped in the same condescending ways of doing development so this notion that give them something that is better than nothing i mean why would anyone not want that vehicle in us some strain in terms of a civilization or mission when people are connected we can accomplish some pretty amazing things just like historical colonialism was framed as well in terms of

bringing progress bringing something that is good and beneficial for humanity we can get closer to the people that we care about we can get access to jobs and opportunities and ideas our participation is expected and our producer pretty soon we're told it's for our own good meanwhile all of this extraction and capturing of the you know it's kind of happening in the background we don't realizing the 2 consequences ready the facebook free basics model which is basically about expanding for facebook the demain of data extraction across the world at a time when demand for facebook is beginning to fall amongst younger people in particular in the so-called west. is very interesting just as in historic colonialism the apparent weakness of the colonized populations that lack of weapons their lack of results is the lack of an economic structure suggested to the colonizers that they need to be colonized they need to have whatever the colonial

system would offer them to bind them in. free basics is just one of facebook's many initiatives across africa. facebook's latest push here in kenya is called express why fight companies teamed up with local internet service providers to install what 5 hotspots like here in the mass my town of eagle on the outskirts of nairobi. jerry nimble c.e.o. is a hairdresser who signed up as of into facebook's express why. he gets a commission on every dot a bundle he sells his customers say they look through his 1st book because even myself i use it and they find their bundle keep the cheaper. drugs you get the 1st round of the 1100 in business for free yeah. and you finally see people come out yes they do they find it cheaper they find it and then it opens.
