[liberationtech] Revolution 2.0 Index

[Yosem Companys]

Inspired by reading Castells’ book, Networks of Outrage and Hope, I am
seeking to construct a “Revolution 2.0 Index”.

Using measures of net freedom, democratic rights, and ICT access this
tries to identify countries where ICT-enabled mass protest is more or
less likely to occur.

Feedback and modifications to the index are requested:
