“It’s both deja vu and PTSD.” Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist and author of the book How to Stand Up to a Dictator, sits down with Jon Stewart for a conversation about Donald Trump’s authoritarian attacks on free speech in the wake of Disney taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air in fealty to the president and his hand-picked Federal Communications Commisssion chair.
Ressa, who in 2020 was jailed in the Philippines for her journalism criticising the country’s former President Rodrigo Duterte, warns about the similarities between the dictatorship she lived under and the Trump administration.
They also discuss how tech companies use authoritarian governments as case studies to inform their algorithms and manipulate democratic elections, and the importance in this political moment for Americans to take peaceful action before their rights are continually stripped away
