  • Summary

    With the rise of cloud computing, digital technologies now often involve data-driven supply chains of interconnected systems controlled by multiple actors – offering remote access to centralised hardware resources or software functionalities – whose interaction produces outcomes and functionalities. Generally invisible to application users, these supply chains are key infrastructures in informational capitalism – important both for data production and distribution and for constructing platforms and services – and a primary means by which technology companies enclose and restructure social and economic life, extract value, and concentrate power. In this chapter, I argue that understanding supply chains through the lens of interdependence helps explain their role as important sites of distributed governance in contemporary societies. By focusing on the interdependencies which construct supply chains, we can understand how providers’ position and power arises through relations heavily shaped by law and other factors, and how law and regulation might begin to rein in that power.
