Die Geschichte einer mutigen Frau, der Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Maria Ressa, die seit Jahrzehnten für die Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit auf den Philippinen kämpft und sehr deutlich die Rolle der sozialen Netzwerke beim Aufstieg von Autokraten und Diktatoren benennt.
Sehr lesenswertes Buch, das ich als Hörbuch gehört habe.

Taught me a lot about the Philipines history and the threats to democracy around the world.
Wish this were an audio book. Don't have time to sit down and read a book.
Maria Ressa is a VERY impressive person. This was not something I was previously aware of and am now enthralled with; well written and easy to digest as well as informative.
the series of events that led to this book being gifted to me made reading this much more special. i could barely get through the first few chapters without having to put it down from an overwhelming wave of emotions (relatability perhaps). anyway, i really liked it and thankful maria ressa and the likes exist

It is interesting. Was looking for advice on an individual level, but her focus was on tech companies. Still important to understand the methodology authoritarians use.
Valuable, urgent book!
"The more progressive we became, the greater the nostalgia for a simplicity that never really existed."
"Today an emergent wave of right-wing populist leaders uses social media to question and break down reality, triggering rage and paranoia on a bed of exponential lies."

I don't think I'm the target audience for this book. I wasn't expecting to read a chapter on high-school or the lessons Ressa learned from standing up for the classroom outcast. Are we supposed to clap? Well done? Am I meant to be astounded by her wisdom and mercy? The obnoxiousness of casting every miniscule moment of her life in heroic light diminishes the moments when Ressa is genuinely worthy of respect and admiration. The disservice her self-directed hero worship does to the book is that when these moments come around, all I can do is roll my eyes. Seriously, is this book about Ressa being amazing, or is it about how to stop a dictator?
