Datification, introduced by Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger (Biltgen and Ryan (2016)), refers to the controversial and barbarian possibility of generating digital twins of every being and thing on Earth thanks to sensors, data and algorithms. Digital colonisation and neoliberal processes in a datified world are beyond the limits of the material world, beyond time and geographical location. Big Data and artificial intelligence combined have led to data science representing the scientific and"mechanical" materialisation of datification. Scholars like N. Couldry and U. Mejíías (Couldry and Mejias (2021a)), P. Ricaurte (Ricaurte (2019)) and S.U. Noble (Noble (2018)) define this data-centred phenomenon as a form of data colonialism 1. Through its problematic epistemic basis, data science steps into human life systematically, massively and without being questioned. Global north and south countries see in this project the opportunity to observe, control and tune lives, beliefs, and thoughts without people even being aware. No place is unreachable, and people are progressively formatted to believe and organise their aims towards the ideals of savage capitalism"values" injected by the digital hegemony. There is ongoing colonisation of the minds and expectations with temporalities that see in datafication and the"opportunities" it opens as the ultimate evolution of humanity. The impact of datification and algorithms re-creating and reproducing colonial violence promises to be increasingly devastating for people in the margins, women and young children very often. Scholars like M. Lampard and S.L. Star (Lampland and Star (2009)) have problematised the quantification of social phenomena and people’s behaviour showing how hegemonic thinking biases the choice of variables representing categories and how they are"engineered" to be processed by machine learning algorithms and numerical methods. For example, algorithms adopting supervised learning methods 2 use bi-gender
