The Cambridge Handbook of Facial Recognition in the Modern State
In situations ranging from border control to policing and welfare, governments are using automated facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect taxes, prevent crime, police cities and control immigration. FRT involves the processing of a person's facial image, usually for identification, categorisation or counting. This ambitious handbook brings together a diverse group of legal, computer, communications, and social and political science schola…
Power and Protest
Protest movements are gaining momentum across the world, with Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, and strong pro-democracy protests in Chile and Hong Kong taking centre stage. At the same time, many governments are increasing their surveillance capacities in the name of protecting the public and addressing emergencies. Irrespective of whether these events and/or political strategies relate to the war on terror, pro-democracy or anti-racism …
Big Brother Watch and Others v. the United Kingdom
vaccination requirements may significantly implicate other rights, such as freedom of movement under Article 2, Protocol No. 4. Nevertheless, the Court's use of the term "social solidarity" seems to send a message that it would not be disproportionate for states to impose compulsory COVID-19 vaccination in the name of that solidarity, as having the highest level of vaccination would protect people who are vulnerable to COVID-19, including the eld…
A Struggle for Competence
In Privacy International and Quadrature Du Net , the Grand Chamber of the CJEU ruled that the e‐Privacy Directive generally prevents bulk retention and transmission of traffic and location data, unless Member States can prove serious threats to national security. In such cases, bulk data can be retained during a strictly necessary period, subject to review by a court or independent administrative body. The judgments will impact other data retenti…
“Transparency Washing” in the Digital Age
Contemporary discourse on the regulation and governance of the digital environment has often focused on the procedural value of transparency. This article traces the prominence of the concept of transparency in contemporary regulatory debates to the corporate agenda of technology companies. Looking at the latest transparency initiatives of IBM, Google and Facebook, I introduce the concept of “transparency washing,” whereby a focus on transparency…

Google LLC v. Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL)
In Google LLC v. Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) , the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU or Court) held that the EU law only requires valid “right to be forgotten” de-referencing requests to be carried out by a search engine operator on search engine versions accessible in EU member states, as opposed to all versions of its search engine worldwide. While the ruling has been perceived as a “win” for Google …
When a ‘Like’ Is Not a ‘Like’
In Fashion ID , the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘CJEU’) held that an operator of a website featuring a Facebook ‘Like’ button is a data controller under EU Directive 95/46 (‘Directive’) jointly with Facebook in respect of the collection and transmission of the personal data of website visitors to Facebook, but Facebook alone is a data controller for any subsequent data processing. While the CJEUs expansive interpretation of joint cont…
The Rule of Law and Automation of Government Decision‐Making
Governments around the world are deploying automation tools in making decisions that affect rights and entitlements. The interests affected are very broad, ranging from time spent in detention to the receipt of social security benefits. This article focusses on the impact on rule of law values of automation using: (1) pre‐programmed rules (for example, expert systems); and (2) predictive inferencing whereby rules are derived from historic data (s…
Developing a European Standard for International Data Transfers after Snowden
In Opinion 1/15 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that the proposed EU‐Canada Passenger Name Record (PNR) agreement must be revised because parts of it are incompatible with the EU fundamental rights framework. This note argues that the significance of Opinion 1/15 can only be understood in the broader historical context of increasing international securitisation between the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and the Snowden revelations in…
