My topic is freedom of expression and education in the digital age. Much of the current discussion is afflicted by some fundamental misunderstandings about the meaning of freedom and especially democratic freedom. The instrumentalization of these misunderstandings poses serious risks to democracy. If we want to develop the competences for the democratic usage of freedom of expression in younger generations, these misunderstandings need to be addressed in education.
