**Book Description:**
"How to Stand Up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa is a powerful account of the author's decades-long fight for truth and freedom of the press. Maria Ressa, a renowned journalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, has dedicated her career to speaking truth to power. However, her work tracking disinformation networks, even those within her own government, has put her at odds with President Duterte of the Philippines. As a result, she faces multiple arrest warrants and the threat of a lengthy prison sentence for her commitment to speaking the truth.
This book delves into the challenges facing democracy in the digital age, where disinformation campaigns and online manipulation threaten our freedoms. Ressa explores the global impact of disinformation networks, from Duterte's drug wars to political events in the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond. She discusses the role of social media platforms, cyber warfare, and the consequences of unchecked disinformation on society.
As a frontline account of the digital war against truth and democracy, Maria Ressa's book serves as an urgent call to action for readers to defend these values before it's too late. The book has received praise for its compelling narrative and the author's courageous stance in the face of adversity.
Maria Ressa's story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of a free press and the need to stand up to authoritarian regimes and disinformation campaigns worldwide.
