S3E10:Free­dom of Expres­sion in an Unequal World

This episode explores chal­lenges gen­er­at­ed by the dig­i­tal age and their impact on free­dom of expres­sion in an unequal world. What threats does dis­in­for­ma­tion pose to democ­ra­cy? Why are minori­ties unable to exer­cise their right to free expres­sion equal­ly in the dig­i­tal space? And how can big data and tech cor­po­ra­tions be sub­ject to account­abil­i­ty and regulation?
