Protest is a fundamental right, but around the world, it’s increasingly under surveillance. In this episode of CIVICUS Voices, we examine how governments are using facial recognition, geolocation tracking, and social media monitoring to watch, intimidate, and silence dissent. From Hong Kong to South Africa, the UK to Iran, surveillance technologies are reshaping the risks of protest and threatening civil liberties. What happens when the tools of repression become digital? And how can activists protect themselves in an era of biometric policing and mass data collection?
Guests
Dr. Ilia Siatitsa, Programme Director and Senior Legal Officer at Privacy International, expert in global surveillance law and protest rights
Michael Mo, Hong Kong activist in exile and founder of Hong Kong Scouts, a youth-focused pro-democracy organisation
