Civil Resistance

Civil resistance refers to the use of nonviolent methods, such as protests, boycotts, and civil disobedience, to challenge and bring about change to unjust systems, policies, or governments. Researchers in the tech community study civil resistance to understand its dynamics, tactics, and impact, informing the development of tools and strategies that support social movements and promote digital rights, while also examining the ways in which technology can both empower and suppress civil resistance efforts.
