Very pleased to publish this important essay from Gina Romero, UN Special Rapporteur, about the crisis of surveillance infringing on civic space:
"For a long time, we have been told that government surveillance is like a sharp scalpel: a precise tool used against dangerous actors. The truth is that digital surveillance has been transformed into a massive, society-wide, permanent ecosystem of suspicion that affects, or can potentially affect, everyone."
