“The reality of ICTs today is enabled by the existence of a plenitude of exploited labour, such as the slave-labour of people of colour in Africa who extract minerals, out of which ICT hardware is produced, the highly exploited labour of industrial workers in China and other countries that assembles hardware tools, precarious call centre work, dangerous eWaste labour in developing countries, etc”

In the citing paper
“Según los resultados del estudio, WhatsApp e Instagram concentran la mayoría de la atención, lo que refuerza el poder de agencia de determinados nodos de internet ( Fuchs , 2014), como paradoja al imaginario utopista o efecto placebo ( Giraldo-Luque , 2015) en el que se cree que todos tienen la misma posibilidad de captación de la atención en la Red.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
