Authoritarianism

Authoritarianism refers to a system of government where power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or ruling group, often at the expense of individual freedoms and democratic institutions. As technology continues to play a larger role in shaping modern society, the tech community is increasingly grappling with the implications of authoritarianism on issues like online censorship, surveillance, and data protection, making it a pressing concern for developers, policymakers, and users alike.
