This is for me one of the main lessons from reporting on welfare surveillance. There is no epidemic of cheating. The moral panic in welfare states about the heedless poor is often artificial, or based on conflating mistakes in complex bureaucracy with deliberate cheating.

I’m really excited about an article interrogating the agency’s projections of widescale welfare fraud. I’ll write a thread on this when it comes out, but you can already see our analysis in the methodology.

Outstanding stubborn reporting catches 'open' Sweden deploying secret algorithms on welfare recipients seeking to root out an epidemic of fraud, that the agency has largely created. Dystopic.
