What influence do people in positions of authority (like teachers or bosses) have on your personal freedoms?

How do you think future technologies might challenge our ideas about privacy and freedom?

 @9KWJRZGLibertarian answered…2mos2MO

Privacy and the right to privacy may become hotly contested terms in times to come and with the advent of modern technology comes more interaction with virtual spaces. Making the ability to spread one's opinion and to expand one's knowledge base. We must, however guard ourselves against this. Take steps and precautions to make sure that while we are expressing our views that we are being balanced and fair. I believe that hyperbole takes too high a role in social media. Things being believed that have no basis in fact.

Freedom of speech. We live in a time where conflict leads to internal and external conflict through discussion. Many believe we all should share the same opinion when in fact we don’t.

In a liberal society, how should we address the concerns of those who feel their freedoms are being limited?

 @9HDLQD2answered…5mos5MO

First of all, education. I think too many people cry “wolf” and “woke” without acknowledging the privileges they already have and truly understanding the struggles other people have either had to face, or are currently facing, for the same rights that they have. There is far too much scapegoating, and I do think the media is largely to blame for trivialising important social issues. I think that prejudice is far too complex and broad for simple, one-off acknowledgements and private media companies need to be held to more account by watchdog bodies
