surveillance, censorship, and the dynamics of state violence Gohdes, Anita R. creator author. text bibliography nyu 2024 monographic eng 1 online resource : illustrations. In 'Repression in the Digital Age', Anita R. Gohdes provides an in-depth look into the relationship between digital technologies and state violence. Drawing on original data, Gohdes argues that mass access to the Internet presents governments who fear for their political survival with a set of response options, which in turn support different forms of violence by state forces.
