Chapter 10 is published open access and free to read or download
from Oxford Academic. The Ethics of Surveillance in Times of
Emergency draws from the use of modern surveillance technologies
during the COVID-19 pandemic to explore a set of issues and
challenges facing decision-makers and designers in times of
emergency: how do we respond to emergencies in ways that are both
consistent with democratic and community principles, and that are
ethically justifiable? Emergencies, like public health pandemics,
not only place stress on existing infrastructure and communities,
but put significant pressure on our decision-making. The use of
surveillance technologies during public health crises is a vital
frame to explore the challenge of acting in times of emergency.
Moreover, as an exercise in reflective applied ethics, this book
does not just seek to apply a given theory or principle to the
problem of surveillance in times of emergency, but to use the
challenges facing us to critically engage with, reflect upon, and
develop those theories and principles. The book's authors recognize
this challenge—is it possible to respond to exceptional
conditions in ways that either preserve our core values, or must
these core values be subsumed under the need to respond to the
particular emergency? The book offers responses to this challenge
by looking at three interrelated ways in which can manifest: first,
the democratic challenges; second, the ethical challenges; and
third the design challenges faced in developing ethical solutions.
