Title: Introduction: Harm in Computational Infrastructures Slug: 01-s2-introduction Date: 2020-11-01 12:00 Summary:

Computational infrastructures are complex entities consisting of different technological, social, economical and political dimensions. As is the case with any type of infrastructure, also computational infrastructures come with embedded values. Their configurations shape the possibilities and restrictions of the system, defining what could be build on top and what not.

[note: This could be a good place to introduce a definition of what we mean when we refer to "computational infrastructures", also in relation to "platforms".]

In this section we will unpack how computational infrastructures operate and what impact that has on the digital systems that are being built on top of them.
