Sessions
In 2022 Advox, the digital rights project of Global Voices, gathered researchers from 17 different countries around the world to explore the political and social context that fuels the the emergence of digital authoritarianism. This panel will present the multi-country research and expand our collective understanding of the rise of digital authoritarianism. Researchers will present a summary of the global situation as well as specific country contexts in Sudan, Egypt and Morocco. The panel will summarise the transnational nature of digital authoritarianism and therefore a more expansive plan of action to respond to its rise.
