COVID-19 has hit a world in which social protection schemes are increasingly augmented with digital measures. Digital identity schemes are especially being adopted to match citizens’ data with social protection entitlements, enabling authentication through demographic and, increasingly, biometric data at the point of access. In this commentary, I discuss three sets of implications that COVID-19 has yielded on digital social protection, whose central trade-off – increasing the probabilities of accurate user identification, at the cost of greater exclusions – has become even more problematic during the crisis. I argue that three forms of data injustice – legal, informational and design-related, previously identified in datafied social protection schemes, will need to be monitored in the post-pandemic scenario. I finally observe that the crisis exposes the long-term need to place digitality within social protection schemes that expand user entitlements rather than constraining them. Implications of such reflections are drawn for the study of data-based social welfare interventions.

COVID-19:这对数字社会保护意味着什么?

COVID-19 已经冲击了一个社会保护计划越来越多地通过数字措施增强的世界。尤其是采用数字身份方案将公民数据与社会保护权利相匹配,从而通过人口统计数据和越来越多的访问点的生物识别数据实现身份验证。在这篇评论中,我讨论了 COVID-19 对数字社会保护产生的三组影响,其核心权衡——以更大程度的排斥为代价增加准确用户识别的可能性——在危机期间变得更加成问题. 我认为,在大流行后的情景中,需要对先前在数据化社会保护计划中确定的三种形式的数据不公正——法律、信息和与设计相关的不公正进行监控。我最后观察到,这场危机暴露了将数字化置于社会保护计划中的长期需求,这些计划扩大而不是限制用户的权利。这些反思的含义被用于研究基于数据的社会福利干预。
