I study how governments seek to stifle and control online dissent.

Governance is a way of organizing, amplifying, and constraining power.

We’re at a point in history that whether the Internet is going to evolve in a way that’s compatible with democracy and human rights is really kind of up in the air.

Shibuya is a trendy part of Tokyo where young people come to meet and have a good time.

Increasingly, people have very little tolerance for anything that smacks of propaganda.

The Patriot Act, passed overwhelmingly but hastily after 9/11, allows the FBI to obtain telecommunication, financial, and credit records without a court order.

The Internet is an empowering force for people who are protesting against the abuse of power.
