“…These lists function as security devices that ‘allow sanctions regimes and regulations on “dirty money” to be made operational on a daily basis’ (Amicelle and Jacobsen 2016 , 90). Building on the work of Crespin and Lascoumes ( 2000 , 134), Amicelle and Jacobsen conceptualise the process of appropriation as ‘ the dynamic process of dialogue and reflection between an object , [the lists], and a “space of activities”’ it is introduced to, in this case ‘finance in general, banks in particular’ (Amicelle and Jacobsen 2016 , 91).

Critical Studies on Security

Google is increasingly developing a manifold of security products for its users, businesses, and national security actors like the US Department of Defence. However, the company and its employees struggle with whether, and how, it should be involved in practices of security, war or weaponry. To unpack how Google emerges as a security actor, I bring new media studies perspectives regarding the socio-political roles Google plays in today’s society to critical security studies. With this interdisciplinary approach to studying Big Tech’s role in security, this article analyses how Google appropriates security throughout its ecosystem of platforms, products and projects. The article illustrates that Google’s first and foremost objective is to secure its platform by carefully balancing between being perceived as both neutral and progressive. Google thus appropriates (in)security by developing seemingly mundane and neutral security products, services and projects that align with its platform logic. In doing so, Google locks in new users into its platforms, whilst reshaping (in)security issues into platform issues and identifying the platform as a public and security concern.
