🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Excited to share our work with @nmcmurry, @alex_scacco, and Kelly Zhang in @cps_journal: Who Wants to be Legible? Digitalization and Intergroup Inequality in Kenya
We explore if #DigitalID worsens political inequality.
See here: https://t.co/IMwUftR5eH (1/9)

TL;DR:
Reactions to #eID are positive, but...
1️⃣ Direct exclusion—Marginalized groups may opt out.
2️⃣ Indirect exclusion—Surveillance concerns may deter opposition groups from political engagement. (9/9)

#InternetShutdowns to silence protests are a tactic increasingly used by governments. WZB researcher @LaserGabi explains how shutdowns work technically and how they can be circumvented and detected in @ConversationUK.

Does increasing Internet access & use challenge authoritarian elections?
@LaserGabi examines this question by focusing on Uganda’s 2016 presidential elections. The author uses evidence from election monitoring & survey data, complemented by interviews.

Given the increasing amount of #InternetShutdowns during #African elections in recent years, I ask the question: how do internet shutdowns shape electoral conduct? (1/5)

[Lisa Garbe @LaserGabi]

Take-away: even if shutdowns are nation-wide they may discriminate against specific populations that try to challenge electoral malpratice (4/5)
