How does it feel to live without freedom - new Facebook app by European Parliament

The European Parliament has launched an application on Facebook called "Without Freedom", which simulates the absence of human rights, focusing on freedom of expression among users.

It is an initiative designed with the objective of defending freedom of expression as fundamental human right, especially in the context of current Internet technology, which starts playing an important role in the evolution of social dynamics.

Authorities in Brussels thus call for new tools aiming to sensitize the general freedom of expression and promotion of EU social policies at the international level, based on respect for human rights, insisting on the elimination of censorship at all levels.

Application "Without Freedom" simulates the interaction between Facebook community members in perilous conditions - with absense of human rights and freedom of expression, to highlight their fundamental value in society today.
