Freedom of speech is no longer abolished by decrees; it is downgraded by software updates. 💡 We analyze how the public sphere has been transformed into the private infrastructure of Big Tech and how the alliance between states and platforms creates an invisible digital conformism. What is Shadow Banning, how does algorithmic ranking work, and why does "protection against misinformation" often become a tool for controlling political opposition?
🔍 What you will see in the analysis:
The New Publishers: Why Meta, Google, and X control the flow of information without the accountability of the traditional press.
DSA & GDPR: The fine line between data protection and mandatory state compliance.
Shadow Banning: The art of invisible suppression—how you can speak without anyone hearing you.
The Attention Economy: Why advertisers determine the boundaries of "acceptable" speech.
Information Geopolitics: The battle between the US, Europe, and China for control over digital narratives.
💡 The Conclusion:
When a user self-censors to avoid losing their reach, democracy slides into a conditional system. The battle for freedom is shifting to the code. Unless we demand transparency in algorithms, freedom of speech will remain an empty legal right without practical substance.
