Chelsea Manning is a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, whistleblower, and transparency activist, best known for leaking classified military documents that exposed government misconduct. Her actions sparked global debates on war crimes, free speech, and the role of whistleblowers in holding power to account. Since her release from prison, Manning has continued to advocate for privacy, digital security, and the fight against mass surveillance.

In this interview, we discuss the rise of the information war, government censorship, and the growing battle over truth in the digital age. Manning explains how governments manipulate narratives, why misinformation is a powerful weapon, and how AI and censorship are reshaping free speech. We also explore the role of decentralised technology, the dangers of overwhelming information, and whether she would leak documents again today.
