“…Along with designerly and STS approaches to practicing ethically and socially circumspect innovation, the last 20 years have also seen the emergence of a range of regulatory approaches. Regulatory measures include Recital 46 of Directive 95/94 of the European Union (1995), the first European directive on data protection, which aims to embed 'appropriate measures' in ICTs 'both at the time of the design of the processing system and at the time of the processing itself, particularly in order to maintain security and thereby to prevent any unauthorized processing' of personal data' (Pagallo, 2011). Currently (in the EU) regulatory approaches for the assessment of IT innovation are being developed and institutionalized including in 2012 a proposal by the EU Commission for a new general data protection legal framework that has not yet been adopted 2 .…”

The ever more pervasive 'informationalization' of crisis management and response brings both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Recent years have seen the emergence of attention to ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) in the field of Information and Communication Technology. However, disclosing (and addressing) ELSI issues in design is still a challenge because they are inherently relational, arising from interactions between people, the material and design of the artifact, and the context. In this article, we discuss approaches for addressing such 'deeper' and 'wider' political implications, values and ethical, legal and social implications that arise between practices, people and technology. Based on a case study from the BRIDGE project, which has provided the opportunity for deep engagement with these issues through the concrete exploration and experimentation with technologically augmented practices of emergency response, we present insights from our int erdisciplinary work aiming to make design and innovation projects ELSI-aware. Crucially, we have seen in our study a need for a shift from privacy by design towards designing for privacy, collaboration, trust, accessibility, ownership, transparency etc., acknowledging that these are emergent practices that we cannot control by design, but rather that we can help to design for-calling for approaches that allow to make ELSI issues explicit and addressable in design-time

“…Legal constraints embedded into spaces, places, or digital interfaces, can either aim to nudge people (Thaler and Sunstein 2009), or to decrease the impact of harm-generating behaviours (e.g. risk management), or to prevent such harm-generating behaviours even from occurring (Pagallo 2011). Work on the ethical and legal challenges of self-enforcing technologies should thus help us tackle current discussions about whether and to what extent new IT solutions for virus mass tracing, such as the Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing model (pepp-pt.org), or the Apple-Google design system, should be adopted.…”

The paper examines the legal and political impact of the Covid-19 crisis, drawing the attention to fundamental questions on authority and political legitimacy, coercion and obligation, power and cooperation. National states and sovereign governments have had and still will have a crucial role in re-establishing the public health sector and addressing the colossal challenges of economic re-construction. Scholars have accordingly discussed the set of legal means displayed during this crisis: emergency decrees, lockdowns, travel bans, and generally speaking, powers of the state of exception. The aim of this paper is to stress the limits of such perspectives on powers of national governments and sovereigns, in order to illustrate what goes beyond such powers. Focus should be on the ontological, epistemic and normative constraints that affect today’s rights and duties of national states. Such constraints correspond to a class of problems that is complex, often transnational, and increasingly data-driven. In addition, we should not overlook the lessons learnt from such fields, as environmental law and internet governance, anti-terrorism and transnational business law, up to the regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Such fields show that legal co-regulation and mechanisms of coordination and cooperation complement the traditional powers of national governments even in the times of the mother of all pandemics. The Covid-19 crisis has been often interpreted as if this were the last chapter of an on-going history about the Leviathan and its bio-powers. It is not. The crisis regards the end of the first chapter on the history of today’s information societies.

“…Refer to Leenes and Koops (2005) for further analysis. The popular techniques appropriate to this study that involve embedding safeguards and regulatory measures into technology are generally centred on privacy; that is, following the principle of privacy by design (Cavoukian, 2009;De Hert et al, 2009;Pagallo, 2011) and the deployment of privacyenhancing technologies (PETs) (Clarke, 2001a;Kosta et al, 2008;De Hert et al, 2009). Technological approaches are not, however, dependable mechanisms in their own right.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively review existing literature regarding the ethical dilemmas posed by location-based services (LBS) and their impact upon the adoption of a regulatory framework. Design/methodology/approach – This paper employs a qualitative approach for reviewing LBS scholarship, in which existing knowledge is presented in narrative form and is critiqued thematically. Findings – In reviewing contemporary scholarship, the value of technical, social and environmental considerations is demonstrated. This encourages an understanding of the complexities, multiple interests and contextual factors that must be incorporated into the examination of LBS regulation in any social context. Practical implications – Approximately 85 per cent of handsets now have a global positioning system chipset on board. LBS affect a great number of mobile users. This research will create awareness among users of the potential benefits and harms that can come from the (mis)use of the technology. It will also promote an awareness of the complexities surrounding LBS regulation, drawing attention to the importance of collaboration and involvement of LBS stakeholders in the regulatory process. Originality/value – Defines the ethical dilemmas of LBS that influence regulatory choices through a review of applicable literature and proposes that future research simultaneously address technical, social and environmental factors relevant to LBS.
