## About

The sharing of information online is a premonition of a far more democratic world. But at this dangerous moment in the history of humanity, personal freedom is threatened by the intrusive attentions of both authoritarian states and monopolistic businesses. If liberty and democracy are to be enhanced on the web, we now need an energetic public debate. Welcome to [digitaLiberties](https://opendemocracy.net/digitaliberties?ref=opendemocracy.net) – openDemocracy’s space for this debate.
