Chatham House Democracy and Technology

A @ChathamHouse project that explores the relationship between technology & democracy in Europe.

Our new report is out now:

[Chatham House Democracy and Technology @CHDemTech]

It is less than a month since we published our research paper on the future of democracy in Europe but it feels like we now live in a different world. Some initial thoughts by @hanskundnani on what has changed. https://t.co/obUq5en1ua

[Carnegie Democracy @CarnegieDCG]

#Europe should avoid giving in to technocracy in response to #COVID19. Doing so would mean unlearning the lessons of the rise of populism and deepening the crisis of liberal democracy in Europe.

"Taiwan has successfully managed the pandemic without lockdown and the infodemic without takedown". One of the most inspiring conversations I had this year with Digital Minister @audreyt @RobinNiblett @hanskundnani ��🤖

[Hans Kundnani @hanskundnani]

Doubling down on technocracy would mean unlearning the lessons of the last few years and deepening, rather than resolving, the crisis of liberal democracy in Europe. https://t.co/keV3PmVo7B @Carnegie_Europe #Europeandemocracy

“The attraction of a democracy is the ability of ordinary people to decide their future and for those same ordinary people to join with one another in collective action to right long-standing wrongs.”

Trump vs Twitter: A Battle Over Free Speech?

'Trump's executive order is fraught with misrepresentations about what the law originally set out to do as well as the nature of the companies he seeks to discipline.'

What is the most used #tech tool in the protests against police brutality? 🤔

Interestingly, the answer might not be Twitter or Facebook but... Google Docs! 📄👇 @techreview

My latest: How Google Docs are going from a great place to write your term paper to a protest resource
