How dictatorships censor data to cover up failures
Suppression of dissent and independent media: Dictatorships often tightly control media outlets, silencing or manipulating journalists and suppressing any information critical of the government or its actions.
Propaganda and manipulation of information: State-controlled media is used to disseminate propaganda, creating a distorted reality that favors the ruling regime and downplays or ignores any evidence of failure, according to Number Analytics.
Internet censorship and surveillance: Modern dictatorships utilize technology to filter and block content online, monitor citizens' activities, and restrict access to information that challenges the government's narrative or exposes its failures, notes the University of Chicago News.
Legal and legislative frameworks:Dictatorships often implement strict laws and regulations to justify censorship and repression, such as blacklisting websites, punishing "extremist" content, and even making it illegal to publish information about sensitive issues, according to LaSoft.
Disinformation and misinformation campaigns:Dictatorships may engage in disinformation campaigns to discredit opposing views and spread false narratives that mask failures or shift blame, says www.resurgentdictatorship.org.
Why dictatorships censor
Maintain a positive image:Censorship allows dictators to present a positive and competent image of themselves and their government to the public, even when facing internal or external challenges.
Control public opinion: By manipulating the flow of information, dictatorships can shape public perception, suppressing dissent and maintaining control over the narrative.
Prevent revolts and instability: By concealing failures and manipulating public opinion, dictatorships hope to prevent popular unrest and maintain their hold on power.”
Of course, the numbers aren’t the problem, but the outsourced jobs. There are banks and other institutions laying off, how could the numbers go up?
