“in the past, security referred to countering armed attacks on schools, IS terrorist attacks, wars, illegal border crossings, organised crime, drugs, economic crises and cyber-attacks. Now the list has become a little longer: T24 news. Words and news articles shared by citizens on social media. Journalism that holds public officials to account.

Easier than investigating allegations of corruption. Easier than tackling the root causes of the economic crisis.”
