A look at waning digital freedom in Indonesia, where authorities have increasingly used internet blackouts in recent years to curb dissent
by @timmerman91 https://restofworld.org/... Antonia Timmerman / @timmerman91 : https://restofworld.org/... Good morning, I put together what we know so far about Indonesia's use of technology for crushing dissent and manipulating public opinion. Digital authoritarianism is coming. Industry 4.0? More like Repression 4.0. My first for @restofworld Space Cowboy / @raviopatra : With rampant state-sponsored digital attacks & harassment, internet blackouts, arbitrary arrests & detentions, gov's social media propaganda campaigns often responsible for disinformation, Indonesia is the world's third largest dysfunctional democracy. https://restofworld.org/... Avi Asher-Schapiro / @aaschapiro : This @timmerman91 piece on waning digital freedoms in Indonesian is a real masterclass in weaving together threads of technology change & rising authoritarianism into a compelling, nuanced narrative. Another @restofworld banger. https://restofworld.org/... Cengiz / @cengizyar : “If left unchecked, we could be one of those countries in the region that only appears democratic, but is actually imprisoned.” In Indonesia, digital authoritarianism is on the rise, @timmerman91 reports for @restofworld. https://restofworld.org/... @restofworld : In Indonesia, opposition figures are under siege, writes @timmerman91, as the government embraces digital harassment and censorship to combat dissent https://restofworld.org/...

Indonesia was once a bright spot for digital freedom in Southeast Asia. Now activists are being hacked, and authorities are using internet blackouts to curb dissent. — by @timmerman91 https://restofworld.org/...
