In the context of the political crisis in Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, and Ecuador, governments are using digital technologies to repress and persecute protestors. EFF has signed onto a public statement condemning these undemocratic actions derechosdigitales.org/14039/
We condemn the interference with and censoring of communications, the use of state social media to discourage protest, and various actions harassing protestors
Repressing, criminalizing, and pursuing demonstrators undermines freedom of expression and the right to protest, and goes against both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights
