But what of the corollary, informed refusal? Drawing together insights from three moments of refusal, this article explores the rights and obligations of biological citizenship from the vantage point of biodefectors— those who attempt to resist technoscientific conscription. Taken together, the cases expose the limits of individual autonomy as one of the bedrocks of bioethics and suggest the need for a justice-oriented approach to science, medicine, and technology that reclaims the epistemological and political value of refusal.

Voting Squared: Quadratic Voting in Democratic Politics Eric A. Posner & E. Glen Weyl1 February 14, 2014 Abstract. Conventional democratic institutions aggregate preferences poorly. The norm of one-person-one-vote with majority rule treats people fairly by giving everyone an equal chance to influence outcomes, but fails to give proportional weight to people whose interests in a social outcome are stronger than those of other people—a problem that leads to the familiar phenomenon of tyranny of the majority.

  • Ruha Benjamin, Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code, Cambridge: Polity, 2019
    Ruha Benjamin, Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code, Cambridge: Polity, 2019. ISBN: 978-1-509-52639-0 (cloth); ISBN: 978-1-509-52640-6 (paper); ISBN: 978-1-509-52643-7 (ebook) Ruha Benjamin’s new book, Race After Technology, is powerful and engaging survey of the racialization of emerging digital technologies. Foundationally, her argument is relatively straightforward, that new technologies are not socially neutral, but rather are embedded within and actively entrench existing structures of white supremacy. Complex algorithms and quotidian apps veil these social effects, naturalizing discrimination as simply descriptive statistics. This constitutes what Benjamin calls the New Jim Code: “new technologies that reflect and reproduce existing inequities but that are promoted and perceived as more objective or progressive than the discriminatory systems of a previous era” (p.5-6). Critiquing the relationship between emerging digital technologies and race, Benjamin outlines a new interdisciplinary subfield that she terms “race critical code studies”. In the Introduction, she characterizes race critical code studies as “defined not just by what we study but also by how we analyze, questioning our own assumptions about what is deemed high theory versus pop culture, academic versus activist, evidence versus anecdote” (p.45). Where data infrastructures imperialistically present an increasingly total vision, extracting data from all aspects of life, Benjamin pushes against these totalizing narratives and calls instead for “thin description”, elastically stretching to engage “fields of thought and action too often disconnected” (p.45). Her analysis pivots from social theory and scholarly studies to tweets and anecdotes, which she describes “as a method for reading surfaces – such as screens and skin” (ibid.).

  • ACAB Even Facebook Admins’: Platform Vernaculars, Community Moderation and Surveillance in Facebook Groups
    ‘ACAB even Facebook admins’: Platform Vernaculars, Community Moderation and Surveillance in Facebook Groups ‘ACAB even Facebook admins’: Platform Vernaculars, Community Moderation and Surveillance in Facebook Groups Sab D’Souza March 2021 The Women of Colour (WOC) Web was an autonomous Facebook group for women and non-binary people of colour. It offered a safe alternative to other, typically white, feminist spaces on and offline. What started as a single group grew into an ecosystem of subgroups that sprouted from the diverging aspects of its members’ identities. At its peak, The WOC Web had over 3000 members from across ‘Australia’, which fluctuated throughout its five-year operation. I joined in 2013 and was exposed to a language that described what I had always known viscerally. I opened up to others who, in turn, opened themselves up to me – this intimacy rewarded us with a profound pleasure in each other’s digital proximity. Sara Ahmed (2014) describes queer pleasure as a specific feeling that erupts when one refuses to comply with the dominant scripts of heterosexuality. In a sense, our pleasure was produced through our refusal to comply with the dominant scripts of whiteness. If I passed a member on the street, at a protest, at the pub, or across campus, we would steal a glance and smile. However, in 2017, following a string of privacy breaches and mounting tensions between admins and users, the network was abruptly deleted. In 2019, I sat with six former members of The WOC Web to reflect on the group and its deletion. In this essay, I describe the group as predicated on a culture of risk and safety management, an online space which employed the logics and practices of policing to an already marginalised user base.
