Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Networked technologies have aided security and border officials by allowing them to mine external databases and develop complex data representations of individuals.

    “In this sense, networked technologies have aided security and border officials by allowing them to mine external databases and develop complex data representations of individuals (Lyon 2010: 23; Amoore 2006).”

  • The data derivative is an abstracted conception of a person based on data points aggregated from various securitization technologies that border security administrators use to assign risk groupings to individuals.

    “The data derivative is an abstracted conception of a person based on data points aggregated from various securitization technologies that border security administrators then use to assign 'risk groupings' to individuals (Amoore 2006: 27).”

  • Border security agents are dividing, separating, and particularizing subjects based on derived data from surveillance technologies, biometric data, and other personal details.

    “In doing so, border security agents are 'dividing, separating, and particularizing subjects' based on derived data from surveillance technologies, biometric data, and other personal details (Amoore 2006: 35).”

    From Mapping Interfacial Regimes of Control: A Qualitative Analysis of America’s Post-9/11 Security Technology Infrastructure (2020) · cites this paper as Amoore 2006

  • The process of dividing, separating, and particularizing subjects can substantially impact how a person is governed and treated should he or she try to cross a border.

    “This process of dividing, separating, and particularizing 'subjects' can substantially impact how a person is governed and treated should he or she try to cross a border.”

    From Mapping Interfacial Regimes of Control: A Qualitative Analysis of America’s Post-9/11 Security Technology Infrastructure (2020) · cites this paper as Amoore 2006

  • The United States' dependence on biometric technology, data mining software, and algorithmic applications in border security has resulted in the creation of the data derivative.

    “Amoore (2006: 27) argues that the United States' dependence on biometric technology, data mining software, and algorithmic applications in border security has resulted in the creation of the 'data derivative,' akin to Deleuze's (1992) concept of the dividual as well as Haggerty and Ericson's (2000) notion of the data double.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
