abstract = "Today{\textquoteright}s digital architecture is based on the information networks of colonial times, which carried information and goods – including slaves – to knowledge centres in the West. Hence, structures like the Internet reflect biases in social and political connectivity. Those living in {\textquoteleft}black holes{\textquoteright} in the digital architecture are {\textquoteleft}mined{\textquoteright} for information, without enjoying any of the benefits of information flows. Hence, it is clear that digital technology is not impact-neutral. In fact, it seems to be fuelling trafficking in human beings, particularly trafficking for ransom on the African continent.",
