Critique of "liberation technology" paradigm
"Extensive literature has emerged on the political function of new communication technologies...while drawing on this literature, we hope to temper its recalcitrant investment in the counter-hegemonic potential of social media..it was only later that scholars began to consider..the ways they have been employed by dictators & police states as public relations..tools for tracking..as means of counter-insurgency. A critique of the enduring liberation tehcnology paradigm frames our analysis" (p11)
