I actually don't think the headline captures the point succinctly, because the definition of 'political' being used is obscure and quite specific: > "Political activity is whatever shifts a body from the place assigned to it or changes a place's destination." (Rancière 1999, S. 30) > What Rancière means by that is that politics occurs whenever a thing is not in its assigned place. This is perfectly valid for software: As soon as a person diverts from what is expected from them, software aborts with an error or "corrects" the "wrong" statement automatically. So at least from the view of Jacques Rancière, software is utterly political. It has a significant impact on our daily lives and we cannot do anything against this. And this is a problem that especially corporate software shows.
