Privacy is crucial for dissenters, allowing freedom of thought and expression without fear of repercussions. The rise of surveillance technologies, such as facial recognition and social media monitoring, poses a significant threat to protestors. These tools create a power imbalance, enabling authorities to track and identify individuals easily, which fosters a culture of fear and leads to self-censorship. The erosion of privacy compromises the fundamental rights necessary for protesting against injustices and advocating for change, making the protection of privacy increasingly important in preserving dissenting voices.
Privacy is essential for those who dissent. It allows individuals the space to think freely, associate with others and express their views without fear of reprisal.
Without privacy, protestors risk losing their voices, and their own safety. And we, as a society, risk losing a powerful tool for change, along with countless narratives that need to be heard.
Authorities and private actors can now monitor, track, and identify protestors with alarming ease. This capability doesn't just threaten those attending protests.
Privacy matters. Without the protection of privacy, protestors cannot safely challenge injustice, confront power structures or advocate for a better future.
