Freedom (1x2)

:

Digital technology promised us freedom and fraternisation. What was initially seen as an asset now increasingly feels like a threat to freedom. The fact that we are being manipulated by commercial, political and technical companies like Facebook was recently demonstrated by the revelations of Cambridge Analytica. Bas Heijne explores the limits of our freedom. What is still true? Why did we relinquish our belief in individual freedom in this way? How can we arm ourselves against the abuse of power by tech companies and politicians? Pretending that we are still autonomous individuals in a vital democracy. It is the greatest lie of our time.
