“…New technologies which involve more people in policy processes could be beneficial to inter alia, anti-corruption policies. The potential benefits of crowdsourcing for government and public policy have been summarised by Lehdonvirta & Bright (2015) and the use of crowdsourcing for corruption reporting has been discussed in detail by Zinnbauer (2015). Collective actions and social mobilisation against corruption in this dimension have become possible only in recent years thanks to the emergence of new technologies.…”

It is obvious that the Internet connection brings several unquestionable benefits to people and society.However, not all of them can be seen at first sight. This study examines the potential effect of Internet usage on corruption awareness as well as experience with corruption and actual reporting of corruption cases. We conducted mainly IV probit and 2SLS regression based on the data from the Eurobarometer survey. We have found that intensity of Internet usage seems to be a significant factor affecting respondents' knowledge about where to report the corruption. Internet usage appears to have a positive effect on the accuracy of corruption extent estimation in a country. Moreover, our results strongly suggest that those using the Internet frequently are more likely to report experiences of corruption. In line with this result, promoting of Internet usage and enabling Internet access can be seen as a potential anti-corruption tool. Our findings have several important implications for anti-corruption and bribery policies. Due to the fact that especially the initial installation cost proves to be the essential problem, the effective strategy should also include the subsidies for Internet access. Key points for practitioners:-Respondents who are using the Internet more often have a better awareness of corruption, and they are more often willing to report the corruption.-The public support of internet usage seems to be a potentially effective anti-corruption policy, -Especially relatively high initial installation cost seems to be the most significant barrier to Internet adoption and usage.

“…Considerable geographical inequities remain. In a 2014 study 4 , Graham and several colleagues analysed more than 60,000 transactions on one major platform in March 2013. Most jobs, they found, were listed by employers in high-income countries and completed by workers in low-or middle-income countries (see 'The gigs are up').…”

“…seja na forma clássica da chamada e-participação (e-participation) que no novo tema do crowdsourcing digital em políticas públicas (cLARK et al, 2016;LEHDONvIRTA;BRIGHT, 2015;PRPIĆ;TAEIHAGH;MELTON, 2015;ROYO;YETANO, 2015) e legislações (cHRIsTENsEN; KARJALAINEN;NURMINEN, 2015), por exemplo, a ideia de boa governança ou de governos eficientes pode for-necer horizonte normativo suficiente para justificar a necessidade de participação pública como colaboração para governos e parlamentos digitais, sem que se precise recorrer à ideia de participação como aumento do poder civil (empowerment), compartilhamento de poder, reafirmação da soberania popular ou como forma de democracia direta, que são as abordagens típicas da participação pela democracia digital. Esta abordagem da e-participação menos sobrecarregada pelas demandas da teoria democrática, por exemplo, é muito comum na contribuição massiva e crescente da área de computação para o subcampo do governo eletrôni-co. Mas também em estudos da área de Administração.…”
