By intervening in freedom of expression, social platforms turn the transmission of information from a profit-making activity into a lucrative business. The situation becomes treacherous when the state allies with private groups.

The unconditional persecution of hate by NGOs, the media, politics and now also public prosecutors is leading to a new, subtle form of political and social terror that puts freedom of expression to the test and establishes a system of "mind control".

We have too few effective mechanisms for removing those who run the state. This is one of the biggest flaws of democratic politics. Similarly, every citizen should be able to challenge political and ideological decisions in court.

Migration, globalisation and communitarisation through the European Union are undermining traditional participation in the form of elections; fewer and fewer people are being reached. But declining participation endangers the entire polity.
