#059 - Chelsea Manning - The Cost of Truth

Chelsea Manning is a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst,
whistleblower, and transparency activist, best known for leaking
classified military documents that exposed government misconduct.
Her actions sparked global debates on war crimes, free speech,
and the role of whistleblowers in holding power to account. Since
her release from prison, Manning has continued to advocate for
privacy, digital security, and the fight against mass
surveillance.


In this interview, we discuss the rise of the information war,
government censorship, and the growing battle over truth in the
digital age. Manning explains how governments manipulate
narratives, why misinformation is a powerful weapon, and how AI
and censorship are reshaping free speech. We also explore the
role of decentralised technology, the dangers of overwhelming
information, and whether she would leak documents again today.
