- Title
Blindflug in Kriegszeiten?
- Authors
Dostal, Jörg Michael
- Abstract
In the article "Blind Flight in Times of War?" by Jörg Michael Dostal, the question is raised whether it is wise to exclude Russian state media such as RT or Sputnik from communication through censorship. The author argues that it is dangerous to no longer perceive the other side and to artificially blind oneself. He warns that further escalation is possible at any time and that the situation is already more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The article also emphasizes that in a liberal democracy, citizens should decide for themselves which voices they want to hear and that censorship restricts freedom. The author calls for an end to the war in Ukraine and an open dialogue about the future of democracy.
