The Invisible Chains: Censorship in the Digital Age
In a world where information flows freely across digital platforms, censorship seems like a relic of the past. Yet Nick Cohen's searing analysis reveals a disturbing truth: censorship hasn't disappeared - it has evolved. When Salman Rushdie received a fatwa for writing "The Satanic Verses," it signaled a new era where fiction could become a death sentence. Today, as social media amplifies our voices while simultaneously enabling unprecedented surveillance, the threats to free expression have only multiplied. Religious fundamentalists bomb bookstores, wealthy oligarchs weaponize libel laws, and authoritarian governments deploy sophisticated digital tools to silence dissent. Meanwhile, corporations crush whistleblowers, and cultural relativism betrays minority voices seeking reform. The digital revolution promised liberation but delivered new forms of control. As Rushdie himself noted when accepting the 2023 Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, "free speech is the whole ball game" - and it's a game we're in danger of losing.
