This issue of the SUR Journal features essays which unpack the various ways the Internet impacts democracy around the world. The topics covered include 1) how the concentration of technological knowledge in a small group of countries and companies could lead to ‘digital colonialism’; 2) how social media platforms contribute to group polarization by increasingly offering users material that is most relevant to them; 3) the importance of Facebook’s live streaming service for activists in Jordan, and more. The issue also includes two essays, an interview and more.
