Surveillance Feminism Expands State Control

Updated: 2025.12.03 3D ago 1 sources
A strain of state‑aligned feminism reframes sexual liberty as a technical risk problem, driving laws, tracking devices, and administrative surveillance into private intimacy. That model replaces emancipatory attention to agency and material supports with risk‑assessment infrastructures (bracelets, dashboards, telecom contracts) that expand policing, vendorized enforcement, and evidentiary regimes. — Naming and tracking 'surveillance feminism' clarifies a cross‑national tension between gender‑justice aims and civil‑liberties costs, guiding debates on consent law design, device governance, data retention, and due process.
