SoLiXG:Digital borders
Digital boundaries/borders
The expansion of digital infrastructures demarcates the internal and the external in various new forms. In terms of geopolitics, European policies exclude for instance telecommunication companies that are deemed subscribing to non-western ideals. In the meantime, the expansion of digital infrastructure has prepared the ground for a new project for digital identity, which enable methods of surveillance, proposed as protective tools against criminal activity threatening European cohesion. These administrational digital infrastructures, while enable European integration, creating systemic and semantic operability and smoothening internal mobility, create digital boundaries of inclusion and impedes solidarities across borders and obstruct human fundamental rights of migration and asylum.
Anna: digital infrastructures =/= computational infrastructures, in this case right? I think the point needs to be a bit clearer, maybe the focus on digital identity and how this opens up digital borders. Is it present in the project at the moment? --> if yes, taylor it a bit towards the case.
