Summary | Interview of the historian and journalist Timothy Garton. He talks about people's use of internet and how they can spread lies and truths. Private data, lies, truths, vigilance, and hatred circulate online. Garton claims that regarding freedom of speech, things are worse than before. According to Garton, it is part of what he calls a global anti-liberal counterrevolution. The enemies of freedom of speech are: states, and private superpowers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple. Indeed, they also control what we see and do not see. When states and those superpowers come together, things can become dangerous.
