This chapter turns to the ways in which the openness of social media systems and scholarly research are part of a broader turn to neoliberal practices in government policy around higher education. Even as it may be well intentioned, the author claims, open access ends up providing data to organizations that wish harm to our universities. More broadly, though, this chapter also questions the ways in which notions of truth, democracy, and public knowledge circulate in the digital era, bringing a political-economic slant to this chapter. Specifically, how are we to understand the spread of “fake news”, even as more and more original research work becomes openly available?
