How to engage with the politics of privacy in the age of preemptive security? My suggestion is to start with data protection. Which, following De Hert and Gutwirth (2006), is not exactly the same of privacy. Extrapolating from their analysis of the two as different âlegal toolsâ, I would say that privacy and data protection are two slightly different rationales of power relations: the one of privacy based on the âopacity of the individualâ, and the one of data protection on the âtransparency and accountability of the powerfulâ (Gutwirth and De Hert 2008: 275, emphasis in original). These rationales (attempt to) orientate two different loose dispositifs, each formed by a composite ensemble of elements. Some of these elements are peculiar to each dispositif, while others are shared or encompassed by both.
