With an ever closer look at movements organised by interest groups with unclear aims and non-transparent agendas, the democracies' acceptance of deviating (and not necessarily fact-based) world views is challenged. Extra-parliamentary oppositions are democratically not legitimised but claim to speak on behalf of "the people" for the purpose of "revealing the truth". Consequently, there is serious mal-advocacy in the name of the people. By making use of disinformation, propaganda, lies (fake news), and violence, these nevertheless civic movements are capitalising on the freedom of expression guaranteed by Human and Fundamental Rights. Against the background of numerous researches published in the recent years, present book is presenting a use-case ("The Galactic Federation of the Light") to illustrate the threats to free and open societies deriving from such movements. The authors argue in the light of Human and Fundamental Rights that the freedom of expression as such is well-fort ified to stand in against conspiracies and anti-democratic ideas.
