This chapter is a first outcome of a cooperation between five young scholars from Europe and one from North America, which first met at a conference in Uppsala, Sweden called "Critique, Democracy, and Philosophy in 21st Century Information Society. Towards Critical Theories of Social Media".
It reflects our subjective experiences and basic views as emerging scholars. In what follows, we first want to point to the value and the importance of a critical approach to informational capitalism (section 1).
We then (section 2) identify principal challenges for critical thinking in today's higher education sector and in section 3 we describe struggles against this situation and point to prospects that arise therein
