Press freedom at risk? Half of Journalists surveyed feels pressured by excessive government control of the press. The CNTI’s 2025 World Press Freedom study shows the pressure on journalism is no longer only external, it’s structural. When governments define what journalism is, they define what truth can be. $VU positions itself as infrastructure for press freedom. Instead of relying on traditional publishers or state-backed systems, VU enables journalists to publish, verify, and preserve their work on a decentralized network cnti.org/article/world-press…

When access can be revoked by order, freedom becomes conditional The debate around Canada’s proposed Bill C-8 highlights a growing global tension: governments seeking control over digital identity and access. $VU builds toward an alternative where access and truth are verified by communities, not controlled by states
