In October 2018 , writing for Quillette , Mchangama wrote about the decline of free speech in cyberspace , pointing to recent policies changes by Facebook and Twitter which had previously been strong advocates of free speech . He noted that these companies had previously adopted the American model ' viewpoint diversity ' but then switched to the European model of " ' balancing ' free speech against competing interests " . He noted the various inconsistencies in the application of such rules , such as the ban on denying the Holocaust while denying the Armenian genocide remains tolerated . Mchangama received the Venstre Party 's Freedom Prize in 2013 for his involvement in the public debate about rights in Denmark and abroad . In his acceptance speech , Mchangama underscored that freedom and democracy do not come naturally – they need to be fought for as hard in a country like Denmark as in any other part of the world . “ No one has won freedom by being silent . ”
