*Open Panel133
(https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/accepted-open-panels-big-data)
Peripheral States: Public Uses and Misuses of Big Data Technologies
For the last ten years, governments, especially in peripheral states
have followed the technological path imposed by the giants of the new
digital economy without having the time of reflecting and regulate the
side effects of the production and accumulation of such amount of
private and sensitive information. Moreover, many of them has fallen in
the temptation of building (buying) mass surveillance systems to better
control their citizens without having a real control over the technology
they are using.
This open panel aims to bring together scholars from different parts of
the world to discuss the paths and approach governments from south and
north are following in the adoption of big data technologies, their uses
and misuses.
Keywords:
big data, peripheral states, data leaks, surveillance systems, privacy
Categories:
Big Data, Governance and Public Policy, Engineering and Infrastructure
Abstracts up to 250 words can be submitted directly through the
4S/EASST website
(https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ssss/prague20/)
Deadline February 29, 2020
We look forward to your proposals,
Convenors:
María Belén Albornoz (FLACSO - Latin American Social Studies Faculty) //
Henry Chavez (PUCE - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador)
