Bonus episode | Technology and its role in racialised surveillance
from The WebRoots Democracy Podcast · host WebRoots Democracy
Automated facial recognition, contact tracing apps, and digital identity initiatives are on the rise. Taking examples from the UK, EU, and Australia, our event with the Portal Collective explored the implications of these new technologies for migrants and people of colour. In particular, we looked at the ways in which these technologies risk perpetuating racist outcomes in society. The event was chaired by writer and broadcaster, Yassmin Abdel-Magied from the Portal Collective. She was joined by Sarah Chander (European Digital Rights), Gracie Bradley (Liberty), Dhakshayini Sooriyakumaran (Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility), and Dr Angela Martinez Dy (Loughborough University London). This discussion took place in July 2020.
