Description
Introduction by Amal Clooney
From the recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, an impassioned and inspiring memoir of a career spent holding power to account.
Maria Ressa is one of the most renowned international journalists of our time. For decades, she challenged corruption and malfeasance in her native country, the Philippines, on its rocky path from an authoritarian state to a democracy. As a reporter from CNN, she transformed news coverage in her region, which led her in 2012 to create a new and innovative online news organization, Rappler. Harnessing the emerging power of social media, Rappler crowdsourced breaking news, found pivotal sources and tips, harnessed collective action for climate change, and helped increase voter knowledge and participation in elections.
But by their fifth year of existence, Rappler had gone from being lauded for its ideas to being targeted by the new Philippine government, and made Ressa an enemy of her country’s most powerful man: President Duterte. Still, she did not let up, tracking government seeded disinformation networks which spread lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate. Hounded by the state and its allies using the legal system to silence her, accused of numerous crimes, and charged with cyberlibel for which she was found guilty, Ressa faces years in prison and thousands in fines.
There is another adversary Ressa is battling. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is also the story of how the creep towards authoritarianism, in the Phillipines and around the world, has been aided and abetted by the social media companies. Ressa exposes how they have allowed their platforms to spread a virus of lies that infect each of us, pitting us against one another, igniting, even creating, our fears, anger, and hate, and how this has accelerated the rise of authoritarians and dictators around the world. She maps a network of disinformation—a heinous web of cause and effect—that has netted the globe: from Duterte’s drug wars to America's Capitol Hill; Britain’s Brexit to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare; Facebook and Silicon Valley to our own clicks and votes.
Democracy is fragile. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is an urgent cry for Western audiences to recognize and understand the dangers to our freedoms before it is too late. It is a book for anyone who might take democracy for granted, written by someone who never would. And in telling her dramatic and turbulent and courageous story, Ressa forces listeners to ask themselves the same question she and her colleagues ask every day: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?

Compelling and concerning
Whatever your political views are, it’s worth asking how social media and infodemic can make or break communities and countries.

Phenomenal story & great listen
I'm not done but in chapter 3 and this audiobook is perhaps the best one I've listened to in a very long time
She narrates it and her voice expresses so many nuances you understand every word on multiple levels
A handbook as we are all wading through these times & turmoil.
Finally someone able to integrate all the waves of disinformation lies & coverups & rewriting of history as it pertains to our current state - and why we feel so disjointed disconnected & tired of filtering out all the garbage & distractions
Her optimism - she's figured something out & am so recharged and ready for a USA & global democracy v 2.0

People ahead of Profit
Maria Ressa is gold in a coal mine!
An “Unbridled” social media with profit as its only goal has indeed proven to be “destructive” to civilized society.
Maria is a North Star that is showing the way to reach a world with “true”
Justice and equality for all. I pray we all take heed and stand up for human rights and reject “authoritarianism”.
