EAPN Talks: Digitalisation of the Welfare State – A Surveillance Trap?
2026-02-24 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | Brussels
Speaker: Bastien Le Querrec, La Quadrature du Net

Date: 24 February, 2 p.m., online
This session will explore how digitalisation is reshaping welfare systems across Europe, from automated decision-making and data-sharing practices to the growing risks of surveillance and exclusion.
Together with Bastien Le Querrec from La Quadrature du Net, we will examine whether digital tools are strengthening access to social protection or creating new barriers for people experiencing poverty. The discussion will focus on fundamental rights, accountability, and the safeguards needed to ensure that technology serves social justice rather than undermining it.
