Project
Title: Immobilized or petrified? Explaining privacy concerns and the (de)mobilization against mass online surveillance in 21st century advanced democracies This project is composed of online political speech, and offline political mobilization around internet policy. In advanced democracies most citizens use information and communication technologies (ICTs), which would make them stakeholders of technology policies surrounding issues of privacy and surveillance, fair use, censorship and prosecution of piracy, broadband rollout and municipal Internet deployment, etc. The project seeks to understand how and mobilization among some ICT users develops into a political identifier, and how this has repercussions at the party level ?whether these topics are picked up by existing parties or does weak competitiveness facilitate the formation of third parties like Pirate Parties. On a second level, State and corporate internet policies around privacy and surveillance are increasingly having an effect on online political speech and offline political participation in advanced democracies. This project also looks at whether there are chilling effects derived from privacy attitudes and perception of surveillance in advanced democracies.
