🚨 New article from our AFAR project w @francescapalmiotto.bsky.social We explore strategic litigation against newtech in Europe and the various obstacles that must be overcome to reach the litigation stage. www.cambridge.org/core/journal... @sociowarwick.bsky.social @refugeestudies.bsky.social

“when you terminate the app you also eliminate the actual route to access asylum” www.migrationtechmonitor.com/blog/the-sud...

So the digital driving licences will not be mandatory but digital immigration status will be mandatory for all migrants in the UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The EU's #AIAct experts consultation on the definition of an AI system and on prohibited AI practices closed on Dec 11. But loopholes still threaten #FundamentalRights. The #AIActCivilSociety and the #ProtectNotSurveil coalitions call for guidelines that prioritize human rights & justice.

📌 Save the Date! Join us on 26 February 2025 for a talk by @rachelhumphris.bsky.social, who will be discussing her forthcoming book, "Making Sanctuary Cities" @sociowarwick.bsky.social This seminar will take place at 11 AM in room RO.14 of the Ramphal Building.

"Use expired ID to get to UK" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... It’s the right decision, but it’s difficult to understand why it was made in December, just weeks before many were set to travel. How are migrants expected to convince airlines and border officials to process expired cards?

“An internal assessment of a machine-learning programme used to vet thousands of claims for universal credit payments across England found it incorrectly selected people from some groups more than others when recommending whom to investigate for possible fraud.” www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Earlier this year, @francescapalmiotto.bsky.social and I presented our work on legal mobilisation against automated systems in a workshop on digital rights. The organisers even created a playlist for strategic litigation. The list has some fantastic tracks! 🎶 open.spotify.com/playlist/1fF...

yesterday our Derya Ozkul @deryaozkul.bsky.social and colleagues launched their collaborative 'Digitising Identity' project & held their first stakeholder event exploring how digitalisation impacts migrants' lives.👇🏽

We were thrilled to hold today's stakeholder event on Navigating the Digital Immigration System, and are so grateful for the people who attended.. We had a wonderful discussion on the issues and potential solutions. look forward to continued collaboration on this.

Congratulations to our Emily Gray & Stephen Farrall on this American Society of Criminology award 🥳@thatcherlegacy.bsky.social

🚨 Our THIRD Fellowship is OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS! Are you a person-on-the-move or currently living under occupation and interested in #bordertech? Learn more here and join our community! We look forward to hearing from you! Due by Dec 31st 2024 www.migrationtechmonitor.com/aboutmtmfell...

What are the implications of #technology use by States and #refugees? In the 2nd launch event for FMR 73 our authors discussed mobile phone screening in #asylum processes, #biometric data collection and digitally mediated counter-surveillance. WATCH now: youtu.be/xci5pr2NNLk?...

FMR 73 now online on our new website!     Our latest issue 'Digital disruption & displacement’ is available here: English: www.fmreview.org/digital-disruption Arabic: www.fmreview.org/ar/digital-disruption Spanish: www.fmreview.org/es/disrupcion-digital French: www.fmreview.org/fr/rupture-numerique

European authorities are increasingly screening #AsylumSeekers’ phones at the cost of their fundamental rights. In FMR 73, 5 authors suggest a procedural shift: prioritising fairness in the #asylum procedure & voluntary cooperation towards purposeful goals. See: www.fmreview.org/digital-disr...

Informed litigation is vital to uphold the rights of #migrants subject to automated decision-making. The 'NewTech Litigation Database' is a tool for anyone seeking to contest the use of automated systems in #migration & #asylum processes. See: www.fmreview.org/digital-disruption/palmiotto-ozkul/
