According to analysts, digital authoritarianism has ceased to be a phenomenon limited to individual countries. Surveillance technologies, facial recognition systems, internet censorship tools, and methods of controlling citizens are actively spreading through international channels — equipment sales, experience exchange between intelligence services, joint training programs, and export of regulatory standards. Authoritarian regimes, in the view of observers, are forming a kind of global market in which surveillance technology providers offer solutions to governments interested in strengthening control over their populations. This contributes to the unification of digital surveillance practices across different parts of the world, regardless of regional differences. Such cooperation allows states to adopt from each other not only technical solutions but also legal mechanisms that justify surveillance on grounds of national security. Experts point out that this exchange of experience complicates the work of human rights defenders and international organizations attempting to counter the spread of repressive technologies. Specialists urge democratic countries to pay attention to the export of such technologies from their jurisdictions and to strengthen control over companies supplying surveillance equipment to authoritarian governments. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the need for international coordination of efforts to protect citizens' digital rights in the context of growing globalization of digital control practices.
