@article{2016:burgers:networked_, title = {Networked Authoritarianism Is on the Rise}, year = {2016}, note = {This paper argues that authoritarian states have flouted the utopian hope of networked platforms favoring democracy and free speech. Over the last decade, platforms have instead helped authoritarian states to surveil, track and control their populations. China pioneered, and other nations followed, a model of networked authoritarianism. As a result, questions are raised about the utility of such platforms.}, journal = {S&F Sicherheit und Frieden}, pages = {248--252}, author = {Burgers, Tobias and Robinson, David R.
