Open Dialogue Series: Are We Truly Free to Speak Online?

This is an interactive discussion—not a presentation or lecture.

In an age of constant connection, sharing our opinions online has never been easier—or more complicated.
Are we truly free to speak in digital spaces, or are our voices shaped by invisible filters, sensitivities, and shifting norms?

This event invites participants to reflect on:
🔹 How global platforms manage sensitive or controversial topics
🔹 When moderation becomes silent censorship
🔹 The impact of regional, cultural, and political context on expression
🔹 Whether respectful disagreement is still possible—and welcome—online

This is NOT a political debate or ideological forum. It’s a safe, moderated space for global citizens to listen, share, and reflect on the realities of digital expression.
