    Digital disintermediation, technical and national sovereignty: The Internet shutdown of Catalonia’s ‘independence referendum’
    (SAGE, 2021) Sampedro Blanco, Víctor; López-Ferrández, Francisco Javier; Hidalgo, Patricia
    This article analyses the digital shutdown experienced in Catalonia within the framework of the independence referendum of 1 October 2017, which had been declared illegal by Spain’s Constitutional Court. We question the notion of digital disintermediation and examine how Internet control and blackout processes are not exclusive to authoritarian political systems, but have instead begun to develop in Western democracies in situations of socio-political crisis.
