Defining Digital Repression
Digital repression refers to the use of information and communication technologies by governments to coerce and manipulate individuals and groups challenging the state. It involves surveillance, biometric monitoring, and social media monitoring to track and control populations. The initial promise of technology enabling democratic discussions and accountability has turned into governments using the same technologies to suppress freedom of expression and manipulate political objectives. The book explores these dynamics, trends, and ways individuals, opposition groups, and journalists can fight back against this growing trend of digital oppression.
