Discussion Theme:
* To what extent will the Internet be used as a tool to influence and control society rather than promote freedom and human rights?
* Will people have meaningful choices to “unplug or disconnect” and determine how they utilize the Internet or will it be unavoidably pervasive?
* Will the risks of the Internet to freedom and rights outweigh the benefits to society and the individual? If so, what reaction will this evoke? The role of the Internet and media in the post-factual world
