Speaking Up or Staying Silent: The Tech-Driven Psychology
A new study in PNAS explores the complex interplay between freedom of speech and self-censorship in the digital age, particularly in light of evolving social media moderation policies and surveillance technologies like facial recognition. Researchers are modeling how individuals weigh the desire to express opinions against the perceived risk of punishment, offering insights into the dynamics of online discourse and its impact on political expression. This work is especially relevant as platforms experiment with moderation and authoritarian regimes leverage new tools to suppress dissent.
