Evgeny Morozov: Bagaimana Internet membantu kediktatoran

Technology alone does not guarantee democracy or freedom. Authoritarian regimes have become adept at using the Internet to monitor dissent, spread propaganda, and even co-opt public criticism, as seen when Chinese bloggers were recruited to 'investigate' a prison death. Online activism can also feed surveillance, making it easier to track opposition. Many people use digital tools for socializing or entertainment, not political engagement, showing that connectivity doesn't always spark change.
