Cyber Repression and Political Protests in Thailand

该项目通过对泰国在线反对派运动的个案研究，调查数字压制技术对独裁国家激进主义的影响。该项目提出了一个新的概念框架，用于分析联网的对立面，其中概述了社交媒体帮助或包含数字持不同政见者的条件。预期成果包括对泰国国家与自由青年运动之间相互作用的全面研究，以及评估数字压制环境中集体行动战略的一系列概念性工具。它还将提供一个路线图，以帮助民间社会和政策制定者建立抵御网络镇压的能力，并重新夺回网络空间，以推动进步的变革。

This project investigates the impact of digital repressive technologies on activism in autocracies through a case study of online opposition movements in Thailand. The project advances a new conceptual framework for the analysis of networked counterpublics, which outlines the conditions under which social media aids or contains digital dissidents. Expected outcomes include a comprehensive study of interactions between the Thai State and Free Youth Movement and a series of conceptual tools to assess strategies for collective action in digitally repressive environments. It will also provide a roadmap to assist civil society and policymakers in building resilience against cyber repression and reclaiming online spaces for progressive change.
