Editor and contributors tell us stories from their regions
Originally published on Global Voices
This week, we speak to Nanjala Nyabola, Advox Director, and she tells us about Advox's latest research project: Unfreedom Monitor. The Unfreedom Monitor is a project to analyse, document, and report on the growing phenomenon of the use of digital communications technology to advance authoritarian governance. Researchers are examining 11 countries — Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Morocco, Myanmar, Russia, Sudan, Tanzania, Turkey and Zimbabwe — and four cross-cutting themes concerning digital authoritarianism to develop an approach that can be used across contexts — data governance, speech, access, information. You can find the briefing report here.
