Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Dave is a very concerned about free speech and privacy on the Internet.
You may say he is a witness: first, the Internet became the voice of the voiceless; then, it became the realm of policies – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on.
He is not just a witness, as he has been using all those tools from the very beginning. There is nothing better than doing this to learn – and to get your message through, notwithstanding those tools’ ever-changing policies.
Dave is an engineer and he has been managing websites and social media profiles/pages/groups for many years. Besides, he speaks four languages.
He has lived and worked in many countries, all the while experimenting on the Internet.
He has written his first book and he is writing other two books.
Dave has been writing articles on geopolitics for many years.
