The gratuitous manipulation and willful monetisation of all personal data by companies without due recognition or reward back to either user or humanity
data rape is when software organisations use the data collected by people-users to build their businesses, make millions in exits, charge escalating subscription fees, erode trust, service and user experience and fail to give a fair ROI back to either the user or "collective humanity" in return.

Friend: "What ?"
You: "All I remember is last night I went to bed and no one could see my personal info on my facebook profile, and then this morning I woke and everyone could see my birthdate, social security number, credit card info .. AND my asshole hurts."
Friend: "Dude.. you must have been data raped by Facebook. I bet they slipped you a droofie."
