Maria Ressa: The virus of lies on social media are dangerous

When #MariaRessa and 12 other women founded the Rappler.com news portal, they had no idea about the huge sacrifices they would have to make in order to #HoldTheLine and protect their independence and integrity as journalists.

Ressa, who was recently nominated for the #NobelPeacePrize, talks with refreshing honesty about what they discovered on social media and how it has affected our countries, in this Town Hall Meeting co-moderated by Jannelle So, and organized by the US Filipinos for Good Governance (USFGG) and INCITEGov.
