How the Net aids dictatorships

Evgeny Morozov presented a document that discusses how the internet and digital technologies are impacting society and politics in different ways around the world. Some key points made include that the internet has been both praised as enabling the spread of freedom and democracy, but also criticized as enabling more control and censorship by authoritarian governments. New digital tools are allowing new forms of both political activism and control over information. The impact of these technologies depends on how they are used and the context of different countries.
