Getting online in Russia – which tech companies are standing up to Putin?
The Mozilla Foundation, widely recognised for the Firefox Browser, temporarily took down browser add-ons that assist people in Russia in bypassing state censorship, following a request from the state, according to news reports. It reversed this decision and reinstated the browser add-ons that Russia objected to. Apple though has been criticised by a VPN provider for complying with Russian demands to remove its tool from Apple’s Russian app store. Freelance technology researcher and journalist Samuel Woodhams is on SOEP to tell us what’s been happening and who is standing up to Putin.
First academic evidence of online harassment of women in India
Dealing with trolls requires solidarity, according to a well-known Indian journalist and academic, Dr. Sanjukta Basu, who has personally experienced vicious trolling. She’s been in the UK presenting her research which documents the online abuse women in India have experienced on Twitter/X. We discuss her research on how women can combat toxicity online, particularly in response to orchestrated attacks by right-wing nationalists in India.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.
