“The encyclical Magnifica Humanitas by Pope Leo XIV is a remarkable text in many ways. It recognizes the dangers of technological concentration and the threat that large private platforms pose to human dignity. The text warns of ‘social control made possible by the massive collection of data and use of algorithmic systems’ and speaks of ‘the architecture of visibility.’ However, it has a blind spot: it does not dare to name states as possible architects of these surveillance structures.” (06/11/26)
