In this chapter we explore resistance practices applied to algorithmic surveillance in the health domain, with a specific focus on the Italian contact-tracing app “Immuni” specifically developed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Algorithmic resistance is indeed a specific reac- tion against the power of algorithms as largely described in the literature (Velkova & Kaun, 2021). Although localised within the Italian context, we believe that the Immuni app is a good case to reflect on some inter- esting aspects since it entails some key features of algorithmic resistance in general and introduces an up-to-date case study for health control.

Abstract

In this chapter we explore resistance practices applied to algorithmic surveillance in the health domain, with a specific focus on the Italian contact-tracing app “Immuni” specifically developed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Algorithmic resistance is indeed a specific reac- tion against the power of algorithms as largely described in the literature (Velkova & Kaun, 2021). Although localised within the Italian context, we believe that the Immuni app is a good case to reflect on some inter- esting aspects since it entails some key features of algorithmic resistance in general and introduces an up-to-date case study for health control.
