Abstract
In this special issue, we focus directly on the issues of big data and surveillance—and government versus the private sector—all seen through the lens of better understanding human information-seeking behavior. Medina's paper investigates the more classic case of government censorship leading to political suppression in a secessionist movement. The restrictions and controls of the Spanish government are illustrative of a state that uses censorship to control political expression. In other jurisdictions, the response has been much more direct (Tanczer et al. 2020).
