  • A cyber-dissident is a professional journalist, an activist or citizen journalist who posts news, information, or commentary on the internet that implies criticism of a government or regime. The practice of cyber-dissidence may have been inaugurated by Dr. Daniel Mengara, a Gabonese scholar and activist living in political exile in New Jersey in the United States. In 1998, he created a website in French whose name Bongo Doit Partir (Bongo Must Go) was clearly indicative of its purpose: it encouraged a revolution against the then 29-year-old regime of Omar Bongo in Gabon. The original URL, http://www.globalwebco.net/bdp/, began to redirect to http://www.bdpgabon.org in the year 2000. Inaugurating what was to become common current-day practice in the politically involved blogosphere, this movement's attempt at rallying the Gabonese around revolutionary ideals and actions has ultimately been vindicated by the 2011 Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions, where the Internet has proved to be an effective tool for instigating successful critique, opposition and revolution against dictators. At least two nonprofit organizations are currently working to raise awareness of the contributions of cyber-dissidents and to defend them against the human rights violations to which some of them are subjected: Global Voices Online and Reporters Without Borders. The latter has released a Handbook For Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents and maintains a roster of currently imprisoned cyber-dissidents. The committee to Protect Bloggers has been created. In regions where print and broadcast media are tightly controlled, anonymous online postings by cyber-dissidents may be the only source of information about the experiences, feelings, and opinions of ordinary citizens. This advantage may be offset by the difficulty in assessing the good faith and accuracy of reports originating from anonymous sources. Recently, social-media tools have been widely credited with igniting pervasive social upheavals, some of which have even brought down governments. (en)
  • Un cyberdissident est un dissident qui utilise comme médias le « cyber-espace », communément internet. Ce mot n'est pas académique, on trouve d'ailleurs l'orthographe cyber dissident ou cyber-dissident. Il est utilisé pour signifier une personne qui contourne la censure de l'Internet. On le retrouve surtout en traduction de l'anglais pour désigner les dissidents qui utilisent Internet comme moyen d'action, pour s'opposer à la censure pratiqué par les régimes politiques en place. Il est souvent emprisonné dans des pays dont la liberté de la presse est en situation difficile. (fr)
  • Un cyber-dissidente è un giornalista professionista o un giornalista partecipativo che pubblica notizie, informazioni o commenti su internet critici verso un governo o un regime. Almeno due Organizzazioni non profit stanno lavorando per diffondere la conoscenza sul contributo dei cyber-dissidenti e difenderli contro le violazioni dei diritti umani di cui sono vittima: Global Voices Online e Reporters Without Borders. Quest'ultima ha pubblicato una Guida per Blogger e Cyber-Dissidenti e cura un The Committee to Protect Bloggers. È stato anche creato BBC NEWS | Technology | Global blogger action day called. In regioni dove Stampa, radio e televisione sono sotto controllo, pubblicazioni on line anonime di cyber-dissidenti possono essere l'unica fonte di informazioni sulla sorte, sui sentimenti e sulle opinioni della gente comune. In questo caso occorre comunque stare in guardia per la difficoltà di verificare la buona fede e l'accuratezza delle notizie riferite dalle fonti anonime. Il 12 marzo 2010, in occasione della "Giornata mondiale contro la cyber-censura", Reporters sans frontières assegnerà il primo “Premio Netizen,” a un utente Internet, blogger o cyber-dissidente, che abbia dato un notevole contributo alla difesa della libertà di espressione online. Sempre in occasione della Giornata Mondiale contro la cyber-censura, Reporters sans frontières pubblicherà sul proprio sito rsfitalia.org Archiviato il 19 ottobre 2016 in Internet Archive. l'elenco aggiornato dei “nemici di Internet”, l'elenco dei paesi che limitano l'accesso on-line e minacciano i cittadini della rete. Sarà anche pubblicato l'elenco dei paesi che sono stati posti “sotto sorveglianza” dalla Organizzazione per aver manifestato atteggiamenti minacciosi nei confronti di Internet. (it)
