Post-truth society - Jan Theuninck, 2020
The day truth became hate speech
De term post-truth society heeft betrekking op een samenleving waarin machthebbers voornamelijk beroep doen op de emoties van de publieke opinie in plaats van op objectieve feiten. Wat al dan niet de waarheid is, is van secundair belang.

Censorship - Jan Theuninck, 2020
This work describes the current situation on social media where Western countries impose cultural ànd political censorship by proxy on their citizens.
It must be compared with the witch hunt of the Nazi regime
Il s'agit à présent de massifier la censure en contournant les procédures judiciaires et en l'automatisant (Félix Tréguer)
It is based on personal experience (my tweets are hidden under the message "offensive tweet", Flickr removed my painting "Dein Kampf" as a group photo (I replaced it with "Das radikal Böse"), on Facebook I regularly cannot request personal profiles, the operation of my PC is sabotaged, etc.
