Description
Social Media and the rights and responsibilities that come with it shape so much of our world - politics, relationships, war and peace.  How can we have democracy in a world where people are living in different information realities? Who gets to choose what is acceptable discourse? In a wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Mart Susi - founder of the Digital Human Rights Network and Professor of Human Rights Law at TLU - joins Terry to discuss how we shape the conversation that shapes so much of our reality.  If you would like to hear more from Dr. Susi and other experts on this issue, please join the webinar “Media freedom and freedom of expression at times of military aggression” Tuesday 19th of March 11am at the link below.  https://www.facebook.com/events/653911495902479
