Censorship, Digital Media and the Global Crackdown on Freedom of Expression explores the rising global phenomenon of censorship across various media platforms, in schools, universities, and public spaces. It documents physical assaults, legal restrictions, and the exclusion of critical topics from public discourse. This volume analyzes contemporary censorship methods, emphasizing the anti-democratic implications and the threat to civil society, human rights, and global democracy. It delves into the dangerous consequences of suppressing dialogue, information dissemination, and educational materials, providing insight into the challenges faced by critical media literacy and activists. The book advocates for policy alternatives, including economic restructuring of media, global agreements on freedom of the press, and educational strategies to preserve global freedom of expression.

Industry Reviews

"Given the increasing concentration of corporate power to surveil us across a wide array of media platforms and global state repression to encroach into more areas of our lives, Censorship, Digital Media, and the Global Crackdown on freedom of Expression offers an exhaustive collection that analyzes these multifarious threats that impact all of us. From the living room to the classroom to our jobs, digital media, once championed in utopian terms, has been utilized to threaten our civil liberties and collective action. This collection offers a sober assessment of the threats as well as provides some solutions to a threat that we should all take seriously."

Christopher Rob© Professor, Film and Media Studies, Florida Atlantic University and author of Abolishing Surveillance: Digital Media Activism and State Repression
