The search for balance: freedom and security in the digital age

Season 4, episode 32

Every click, every search, every app - we leave behind countless digital traces. The relationship between security and freedom is at the centre of one of the greatest areas of tension of our time. On the one hand, there is a growing desire for protection against crime, while on the other, freedom is a very valuable commodity.

In this episode, find out why 78 % of German citizens say that security measures should not disproportionately restrict personal freedom. We talk about the psychology of security, the concept of „freedom through security“ and how new technologies such as artificial intelligence are redefining the balance between protection and freedom.
