The people of totalitarian regimes e.g. North Korea experience physical and digital isolation, relentless indoctrination and brutal repression.

People need tools to

• Break the language and cultural barrier
• get free media to cover news and events so that they don't only access state media
• circumvent censorship so that they can communicate more freely
• Reducing isolation
• Make it harder for dictators to control people’s life
• Organize in large numbers

Inverse surveillance is a subset of sousveillance with a particular emphasis on the "watchful vigilance from underneath" and a form of surveillance inquiry or legal protection involving the recording, monitoring, study, or analysis of surveillance systems, proponents of surveillance, and possibly also recordings of authority figures and their actions.

As of 2023, there are four countries that are considered to be under totalitarian regimes: Turkmenistan, North Korea, Afghanistan, and Eritrea[1]. The populations of these countries are as follows:

• Turkmenistan: 6,554,264[2]
• North Korea: 26,200,000[7]
• Afghanistan: 42,763,725[8]
• Eritrea: The population data for Eritrea is not provided in the search results.

Adding these numbers together, approximately 75,517,989 people live under totalitarian regimes. However, this number does not include the population of Eritrea, and some experts argue that China may also be considered a totalitarian regime[1]. If China were included, the number would be significantly higher, as China has a population of over 1.4 billion.

It's important to note that the definition of a totalitarian regime can vary, and some sources may classify countries differently. For example, a report from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute suggests that 70% of the world's population now live in dictatorships[9]. This figure includes a broader range of autocratic regimes, not just those typically classified as totalitarian.
