Practices and Modes of Transatlantic Data Processing: From Sorting Countries to Sorting Individuals

This chapter calls for an increase in the attention of policy makers, civil societies and academics to the relatively 'invisible' issues behind these forms of data-processing. In particular, the prominently technological aspect of the second mode of conceptualizing mobilities, and the related practices, should not overshadow the need for political debate. These practices are not free of side-effects, nor can the technological systems set up be neutral. Such a position is not a technophobic, anti-modern stance. Rather, it calls for the adoption of technologies that are both efficient and respectful of human rights.
