Digital rights violations used to crush protests in India
Original: From the internet to the streets: Resisting the violation of digital rights as a means of crushing protests in India
Digital rights advocates are highlighting how internet shutdowns, surveillance and online censorship in India are being used to suppress protest movements, and are calling for resistance both online and on the streets. The argument is that restricting digital rights has become a tool for crushing dissent offline, linking connectivity access directly to the ability to organise and speak out.
Why now: Concerns are growing that internet restrictions and digital surveillance are being deployed to weaken protest movements in India.
