Digital exclusion operates through a ban-opticon that expels rather than disciplines

Evidence

Thus, the panopticon has been joined by a ‘ban-opticon’. The panopticon kept watch over prisoners of the system who were incarcerated. The ban-opticon, on the other hand, is a dispositive that identifies persons who stand outside the system or are hostile to it, and excludes them. The classical panopticon served to discipline. In contrast, the ban-opticon ensures the system’s security and efficiency. — Byung-Chul Han, Psychopolitics, 151
