Quote examples
Evgeny Morozov
Belarusian Writer
The decentralized nature of online conversations often makes it easier to manipulate public opinion, both domestically and globally. Regimes that once relied on centralized systems of media control can now deliver ideological messages more subtly, with the help of little-known intermediaries like anonymous commenters on websites.
Quote examples
Paul Newman

Quote examples
