This article contributes to our understanding of the notion mob censorship from Ugandan context by examining nature and consequences harassment targeting women journalists on social media. Drawing research about online censorship, we link violence in physical spaces encountered media perspectives journalists. We illustrate that different forms enabled platforms present serious challenges for in...

Censorship circumvention is often characterized as an arms race between a nation-state censor and the developers of censorship resistance systems. Decoy routing systems offer a solution to censorship resistance that has the potential to tilt this arms race in the favour of the censorship resistor. Decoy routing uses real connections to unblocked, overt sites to deliver censored content to users...

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for strict local minimisers of differences of convex (DC) functions, as well as related results pertaining to characterisation of (non-strict) local minimisers, and uniqueness of global minimisers.

In 1926, Ernst Mally proposed the first system of deontic logic. His system turned out to be unacceptable. How can it be repaired? We discuss several proposals to reformulate it in terms of strict implication, relevant implication and strict relevant implication.

The untilmodality of temporal logic “A until B” is called strict in its first argument when it does not constrain the value of the first argument A at the instant at which the formula is evaluated. In this paper, we show that linear metric temporal logics with bounded until modalities that are non-strict in the first argument are as expressive as those with strict modalities, when interpreted o...

The imposition of government mandates upon Internet search engine operation is a growing area of interest for both computer science and public policy. Users of these search engines often observe evidence of censorship, but the government policies that impose this censorship are not generally public. To better understand these policies, we conducted a set of experiments on major search engines e...
