The right to sanctuary

 

«The human need for a space of inviolable refuge has persisted in civilized societies from ancient time but it is now under attack as surveillance capital creates a world of “no exit” with profound implications for the human future at this new frontier of power.» Shoshana Zuboff, 2019.

“Home is where we know and are known, where we love and are beloved. Home is mastery, voice, relationship, and sanctuary; part freedom, part flourishing… part refuge, part prospect.” Shoshana Zuboff, 2019.

Surveillance: "Technological progress in the last few decades have made monitoring, tracking and profiling techniques easier, cheaper and more accurate. As a result, surveillance has increased in both the public sector (...) and in the private sector (...). These practices can profoundly affect how individuals think and act, as well as other personal rights (such as freedom of expression or association). Any form of surveillance is an intrusion on the fundamental rights to the protection of personal data and to the right to privacy. It must be provided for by law and be necessary and proportionate."
