Key findings

• In both democratic and authoritarian contexts, technologies are being deployed in ways that erode, and in some cases effectively dismantle, human rights.
• Technology use risks facilitating or amplifying repressive practices and systems, and becoming an instrument of authoritarian governance.
• Surveillance technologies are being expanded and entrenched with the purpose of exerting control over entire populations and/or specific groups of people such as journalists and human rights defenders.
• The authoritarian use of technology is ultimately having a ‘chilling effect’.
• Some technologies are disproportionately intrusive by design and should not be used.
• Technologies’ use is often incompatible with the rule of law, lack redress and raise mass impunity risks.
• A lack of transparency facilitates the authoritarian use of technologies.
