Technology and the Right to Freedom of Expression and Opinion

  • サマリー

  • In authoritarian regimes, both past and present, freedom of expression and opinion is radically suppressed, particularly the voices of those who dissent. Article 19 of the UDHR provides that ‘Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression. In many parts of the world and including our online world, this right is under threat with trends of censorship such as book bans, threats to media freedom, cancel culture, shadow banning online and the use of algorithms that control the opinions and information people are exposed to. Are we heading towards a future of singularity, where technology will eclipse human intelligence, expression and opinion? How does our technology driven online culture promote and curtail freedom of expression and opinion? And what consequences does this all have on the future of human imagination and creativity? We will explore these question and more with journalist and philosopher, William Shoki, the editor of Africa is a Country.
