Notes

1. Here conflict is understood as concerning various forms of sustained political violence, including but not limited to war, civil war, protest and large-scale violations of human rights.

2. This visibility is shaped by existing digital divides and geo-political hierarchies, and should be understood as unevenly distributed.
