Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, 58, a 2021 Nobel Peace Laureate, sent out a resounding message when her award was presented to the royal family in Oslo in early December.The GAFAMs (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) are killing free information and spreading a toxic story about the Covid crisis, she says.

After covering her entire career on corruption, human rights abuses and terrorism in her country, the journalist on parole barely made it to Norway to receive her award.
