It seems to me the title of this article should be "Techno-Authoritarianism" rather than "IT-backed authoritarianism" since the former is by far more common and, I'd argue, sounds better. GrandmasterLiuHu (talk) 15:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry, but I do not understand why you've asked me to see these things. They all seem to reinforce my position that the term "Techno-Authoritarianism" is in much more common use than "IT-backed authoritarianism".

The content under Definition appears to be based on the practice of the Chinese government as described in the sources cited. One option is to move most of it to a new subsection titled China under Examples and identify the Chinese government to the extent supported by the sources cited. It is also noteworthy that all sources cited in the lede are about the practice of the Chinese government. Thank you. Path2space (talk) 01:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I did minor edits to the lede and Definition with citations. I also added China and Myanmar under Examples. Please expand by including other countries under Example when there are reliable sources to support the inclusion. Thanks. Path2space (talk) 03:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree they should merge. My suggestion would be to merge into the page with the more common name, rather than whichever is older. My non-comprehensive reaction is that "digital authoritarianism" is the more common name, but I am not confident I'm correct. JArthur1984 (talk) 17:22, 2 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
