Methods of Digital Repression
Digital repression is not only about technology. It is about power: how states, security services, political actors, platforms, mobs or proxies use digital tools and pressure tactics to restrict what people can safely write, publish, record, share or say.
These methods affect writers, journalists, publishers, artists and human rights voices in practical ways. They can make people avoid certain subjects, withdraw from public debate, protect family members by staying silent, remove work, abandon interviews, or stop publishing under their own name.
Repression is the method. Censorship is the effect. Freedom of expression is what is at stake.
