Dear colleagues, Please take a look at my latest article. Special thanks to Bob Lyazi. All opinions are my own. Bowman, Warigia M. (2019)"Technological Distribution in Uganda: Information and Communications Technology and the State in an Eastern African Nation,"*Review of Policy Research*, Vol. 36 (6):835-865 https://doi.org/10.1111/ropr.12358 Thanks. Rigia
Good Morning Rigia, Thank you very much for your email. I was only able to read the abstract. One striking conclusion of it is "this paper documents that the Ugandan government has employed ICTs in oppressive ways, including for the surveillance of opposition leaders, and for social control." Have you read "Mindf*ck" https://www.amazon.com/Mindf-Cambridge-Analytica-Break-America/dp/1984854631 Thos last two observation i.e. surveillance and social control can take. Most of the surveillance relies on data we ourselves share e.g. in Facebook, twitter etc. but what is frightening is the targeting of profiled subjects with certain messages to twist their mindsets and act as we witnessed for example in our 2013 and 2017 elections. How we view the other gender! Our balkanising those not sharing our culture, language etc. The foregoing can happen in Uganda, USA, you name the place. Hope to be able to receive your full paper. Seasons greetings with best wishes for 2020.
