Why do you want to participate?

I hope to see new perspectives and give some of my own. Especially in these new and strange times I am very curious to see how others think about the subject.

What does freedom mean to you?

It means ensuring that freedom of speech, press, and expression are protected while balancing them with responsibility and truth. In an era of misinformation and digital manipulation, true freedom should include the right to access reliable information and the ability to think critically without being overwhelmed by propaganda. Additionally, economic and social freedoms should be strengthened. People should have the freedom to pursue education, careers, and lifestyles without systemic barriers. A world where freedom is not dictated by privilege, but by genuine opportunity, would be a more just and empowered society.

What are the biggest challenges?

The slow progress of media literacy compared to the rapid growth of fake or malicious news.

Do you have a message?

I look forward to many insightful conversations!
