📣 Explore the TraCe publication highlights on the change of forms, causes, and consequences of political violence. In @acmtochi.bsky.social, Laura Guntrum & Christian Reuter (@peasec.de) analyze how activists cope with technology-facilitated violence. 🔗 www.trace-center.de/en/publicati...

Highlight Publication Sharepic: Laura Guntrum & Christian Reuter (2025). Activists’ Strategies for Coping with Technology- Facilitated Violence in the Global South. in: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI), 32: 6, 1–38, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/3762811

TraCe Highlight Publication Sharepic: This article shows how activists from seven countries in the Global South develop situated coping and protection strategies in response to technology-facilitated violence. Coping mechanisms and responses ranged from self-censorship and withdrawal to various forms of resistance, including the adoption of selective, low-threshold digital security practices such as encryption.

TraCe Highlight publication sharepic: Activists’ digital security behaviors often diverged from universalized IT security recommendations, underscoring the importance of situating protection strategies within activists’ specific threat models and lived contexts.
