The essay reviews the digital emergency measures many governments have adopted in an attempt to curb Covid-19. It argues that those ‘virologically legitimized’ measures may infringe the human right to privacy and mark the transition into a world of global surveillance. At this possible turning point in human history, panic and latent fear seem to fog much needed farsightedness. Leaving the current state of emotional paralysis and restarting to critically assess the digital pandemic management can serve as an emergency break against drifting into a new era of digital monitoring.

Corona pan(dem)ic：通向全球监控的门户

这篇文章回顾了许多政府为遏制 Covid-19 而采取的数字紧急措施。它认为，这些“病毒学上合法化”的措施可能会侵犯隐私权，并标志着向全球监视世界的过渡。在人类历史上这个可能的转折点上，恐慌和潜在的恐惧似乎笼罩了急需的远见。离开当前的情绪麻痹状态并重新开始对数字流行病管理进行批判性评估，可以作为紧急突破口，防止进入数字监控的新时代。
