RSA has released its latest animated video, and this time it features Evgeny Morozov, the Belarus-born researcher, who takes the contrarian position that the internet can often inhibit (rather than promote) democracy, especially within authoritarian contexts like China and Iran. And what follows (above) is a more sobering talk about how authoritarian regimes use the web to suppress civic engagement and fledgling democracy movements. This clip is part of a longer 27 minute lecture (see full version here) that peers into “the dark side of internet freedom,” a phrase that happens to be the subtitle of Morozov’s new book.

Morozov is currently a visiting scholar in the Liberation Technology Program at Stanford." (http://www.openculture.com/2011/03/evgeny_morozov_animated.html?)
