“Human freedom increasingly depends on who controls what we know and, therefore, how we understand our world. It depends on what information we are able to create and disseminate: what we can share, how we can share it, and with whom we can share it.”

American journalist and digital rights advocate, Rebecca MacKinnon has spent decades examining the intersection of technology, media, and governance. She is best known for her work on internet freedom, censorship, and the ethical implications of digital platforms, often bridging academic research with practical policy recommendations.
