This article explores what John Dewey\u2019s political philosophy can offer in regard to the current crisis in digital democracy. It focuses on two digital mechanisms, the \u201cfilter bubble\u201d and the \u201cecho chamber\u201d. While there is a prominent, Dewey-inspired debate on \u201cdigital publics\u201d in the literature, a reconstruction of the Deweyan concepts of the public and of shared experience shows that it does not adequately reflect the aspect of situated and embodied experience. Based on this, it is shown that digital media offerings must also be rooted in local contexts of experience in order to answer the challenge of those two problematic mechanisms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In another article, I reviewed some of my research conducted in the TRESSPASS project on Open Source Intelligence in the context of EU border control. The abstract reads like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explores the use of open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques as part of data-driven border checks in the EU. While the idea to group travelers into risk categories in order to differentiate the intensity of border checks has been criticized for its likely impact on privacy and other fundamental rights, the exclusive use of \u201copen,\u201d \u201cpublic\u201d data was proposed as an alternative that mitigates these issues. However, OSINT remains a rather vague term, as it is unclear what constitutes \u201copen\u201d or \u201cpublic\u201d data, how the use of such techniques would contribute to the production of security, and whether its use actually mitigates most ethical issues. The goal of this article is to contribute toward a situated answer to these questions. It will provide groundwork by clarifying what OSINT practices could entail in the context of the European border checks regime and by developing an ethical perspective on these practices. I will show that the impact depends not so much on the public availability of the analyzed data, but on the specifics of the implementation of OSINT techniques. Thus, certain uses of OSINT continue to raise severe privacy and fundamental rights issues.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
