This is part two of the episode taking an in depth look at digital rights and digital security. In this episode, we will delve into the practicalities of overcoming the challenges of censorship,surveillance, and strategies curtailing freedom of expression. In our modern era, where we champion various freedoms and associated rights, it's curious that we continue to grapple with a persistent challenge. This challenge often hinges on justifying actions under the umbrella of "national security protection."
