Surveillance has 'chilling effect' on free speech
The study looks at how knowledge of surveillance can cause a "chilling effect on democratic discourse" online, and paints a worrying picture of the future of free speech on the internet.
Concluding the study, Stoycheff writes: "This study shows [surveillance] can contribute to the silencing of minority views that provide the bedrock of democratic discourse."
