“…This combination of state, corporate, media, and private sources perfectly illustrates that surveillance capacities in modern societies have undergone significant shifts in the ways in which surveillance and prosecution are conducted and also in which agents and which technologies are involved in these practices and surveillant assemblages (Haggerty and Ericsson 2000). The practices and tactics employed in the G20 investigations thereby follow general international trends and patterns as they parallel the use of visual data and policing tactics after riots in Manchester, London, and Vancouver (Pieri 2014;Schneider and Trottier 2012;Trottier 2012).…”

How to Govern Visibility?: Legitimizations and Contestations of Visual Data Practices after the 2017 G20 Summit in Hamburg

Technological changes shift how visibility can be established, governed, and used. Ubiquitous visual technologies, the possibility to distribute and use images from heterogeneous sources across different social contexts and publics, and increasingly powerful facial recognition tools afford new avenues for law enforcement. Concurrently, these changes also trigger fundamental concerns about privacy violations and all-encompassing surveillance. Using the example of police investigations after the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, the present article provides insights into how different actors in the political and public realm in Germany deal with these potentials and tensions in handling visual data. Based on a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles (n=42), tweets (n=267), experts’ reports (n=3), and minutes of parliamentary debates and committee hearings (n=8), this study examines how visual data were collected, analyzed, and published and how different actors legitimated and contested these practices. The findings show that combined state, corporate, and privately produced visual data and the use of facial recognition tools allowed the police to cover and track public life in large parts of the inner city of Hamburg during the summit days. Police authorities characterized visual data and algorithmic tools as objective, trustworthy, and indispensable evidence-providing tools but black-boxed the heterogeneity of sources, the analytical steps, and their potential implications. Critics, in turn, expressed concerns about infringements of civic rights, the trustworthiness of police authorities, and the extensive police surveillance capacities. Based on these findings, this article discusses three topics that remained blind spots in the debates but merit further attention in discussions on norms for visual data management and for governing visibility: (1) collective responsibilities in visibility management, (2) trust in visual data and facial recognition technologies, and (3) social consequences of encompassing visual data collection and registered faceprints.

“…'Catch a Looter'). 79 Whilst providing criteria for being put on a watchlist, and thus satisfying concerns of the court around the nature of criteria, they can still be questioned on the merits of their breadth. As we will discuss below, the contrast is stark to the EU position in the AI Reg where it lists tighter applications for LFR use (and who can be a target on a watchlist -see s2.2.1).…”

In this paper, we discuss present and future uses of intelligent facial surveillance (IFS) in law enforcement. We do this through an empirical and legally focused case study of live automated facial recognition (LFR) in British policing. In Part I we analyse insights from 26 frontline police officers on LFR, exploring their concerns and scepticism about the technology. We contextualise this discussion on LFR deployment by examining current UK case law which raises concerns around human rights, data protection and anti-discrimination laws. In Part II, we turn our attention to future uses of IFS, examining frontline officer optimism around LFR when integrated with other surveillance technologies. We also discuss the emergence of new forms of IFS, namely emotional AI (EAI) technologies in law enforcement.We discuss how the law may impact this optimism and integration, by analysing the new EU Proposed AI Regulation (AIR). This law makes LFR a prohibited form of AI in the EU, whilst EAI use by law enforcement will be regulated as a high risk AI system (HRAIS), and thus subject to new rules and design requirements. Part III draws together our reflections on the legal issues and officer perspectives into a series of 10 lessons. These consolidate a set of practical issues weobserve in deploying LFR and EAI. It highlights points that need attention for any future law enforcement use of IFS.

“…Social media represents an embryonic and fascinating field of research for both practitioners and academics. Even if the emergent literature on the topic has identified various contributions of social media in transforming customers experiences, marketing processes (Bianchi & Andrews, 2015;Chang, Yu, & Lu, 2015;Hall-Phillips, Park, Chung, Anaza, & Rathod, 2015;Michaelidou, Siamagka, & Christodoulides, 2011;Kevin J. Trainor, Andzulis, Rapp, & Agnihotri, 2014), information diffusion (Park, Lim, & Park, 2015;Zhang, 2015), government practices and government-citizen relationship (Klischewski, 2014;Pieri, 2014;Stamati, Papadopoulos, & Anagnostopoulos, 2015), firm performance (Kevin J. Trainor et al, 2014), many research questions are still unanswered, and thus justifying more research on social media.…”
