Hollow infrastructures: The case of Facebook and Israeli civil society
Infrastructures in decline linger for a long time. • Hollow infrastructures are a third category between functioning and abandoned. • Facebook serves as a hollow infrastructure for Israeli civil society organizations. • Users and third parties take part in perpetuating hollow infrastructures. Recent scholarship has shown that digital infrastructures most often have a very slow demise and linger on for years after they start deteriorating. Moreove…
Supportive but apprehensive: Ambivalent attitudes towards a Danish public health AI and surveillance-driven project
We explored attitudes among Danes toward a healthcare project under development, which includes artificial intelligence, healthcare surveillance, and big data – aimed to improve the detection of vaccine side effects. Similar to other studies in the field, we found a dual attitude of overall support for the project while being apprehensive about risky elements within it. We expanded on existing literature about such technologies by framing this as…

Nontargets: Understanding the Apathy Towards the Israeli Security Agency’s Covid-19 Surveillance
This article tackles one of the latest—but nonetheless baffling—displays of public apathy towards surveillance: that of much of the Israeli public towards the decision to recruit the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) to do COVID-19 contact tracing during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The case of a secretive state agency being authorized to do surveillance on its citizens for a strictly non-security-related matter seems to realize many of the…
Database-Driven Empowering Surveillance: Definition and Assessment of Effectiveness
This article offers a definition and explores the dynamics of database-driven empowering surveillance. That is, it focuses on surveillance from below that is directed at powerful institutions or groups for the benefit of the marginalized, using a database as its main facilitator. By examining six Israeli NGOs working for the protection of Palestinian human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, I am able to break down the database-driven…
Classical sociology meets technology: Doing independent large-scope research
During his short-lived but highly productive career, C Wright Mills put forth a vision for how sociology should be done. Two central directives can be gleaned from this vision: to tackle macro social theory issues by doing large-scope research; to achieve scholastic independence by doing non-administrative research. One might ask if Mills is sending scholars on a mission impossible. Analysing these two concepts in terms of both their merits and a…
Repressive-Responsiveness and Its Applicability to Ethnic Majoritarian Rule: A Historical Case Study
Contemporary sociology seems to have extreme reservations about the significance of vote-motivated responsiveness - ordinary people's reputed influence on policy in democratic settings - both in general and especially when it comes to the masses' role in endorsing policies with repressive outcomes. Those texts that do acknowledge the masses' role in policymaking deal almost exclusively with the struggle of the lower-classes for emancipation/equal…
