SUBJECTS AND STRUCTURES:RE-IMAGINING DATA PROTECTION AS A CRITIQUE OF POWER
summary
Argues that GDPR’s focus on individual control lets firms and states concentrate informational power, shows enforcement gaps (many member states report no access requests since 2016), and documents failing tools: superficial data protection impact assessments, under-resourced DPAs, and patchy court wins (Clearview-style cases protect individuals but not systemic removal). Recommends concrete moves: use DPIAs and risk‑based rules to surface discrimination, litigate collective remedies, link anti‑discrimination law and standards, and test predictive policing and biometric databases for structural harms.
