Second observation

With the law concerning "freedom of expression", and especially because of its excessive and illicit abuse, we have the false sense that we are protecting the very foundations of democracy. Yet in reality we establish and maintain the most shameful totalitarianism of the individual and of the professional staff who rely on him or her. The late C. Tsatsos was correct when he wrote, "There are obvious dictatorships of the sword and erroneous dictatorships of the pen". In this case, there is basic confusion as far as it leads to the exact opposite of that which is being sought. We say that we seek freedom of expression in order to protect the free "expression" of personal viewpoints (which is a sacred and inviolable right of each person, even of the mad person). However, in reality we are protecting the uncontrolled spreading of one person's opinion on a mass scale, and in a powerful and unbeatable manner, at the expense of the unprotected citizen who has no journalistic tool. Thus, instead of "enlightenment" and "information", we have a systematic darkening of the truth and a "reorientation" which inevitably leads to "aggravation". Yet, if this basic confusion between "expression" and "transmission" could be perceived, then others would naturally see the "crime" committed by those who misinform. This clearly pertains to unprovoked slander, because the injustice of "slander" is not restricted only to the individual who concocts "false news", but also to the person who "transmits" this in any way.
