“…In particular, geocoded data on digital platforms, contributed by users, have become a target for extraction, mining, and exploitation by Google and others (Barreneche and Wilken, 2015). For these reasons, community networks of digital technologies have been emerging as well, such as the community‐managed Rhizomatica cell phone network in Mexico (Baca‐Feldman et al., 2017; González, 2020), the Baobaxia network started by Afro‐descendant communities ( quilombos ) in Brazil (Zhang et al., 2022), and Brazil's HERMES digital radio networks derived from the earlier Fonias project (Diniz and Farias, 2021; Rhizomatica, n.d.). These networks have been developed in lieu of the inaccessible or profit‐oriented services of big tech companies, often in collaboration with grassroots groups such as MetaReciclagem and Software Livre, which are themselves marginalized communities in today's capitalism‐dominated world (Amrute and Murillo, 2020; Evangelista, 2014; González, 2020; Murillo, 2020; Zhang et al., 2022).…”
