:Access to knowledge is an important factor for any form of emancipation. It allows, for instance, laypeople to educate themselves about topics that are or previously were a mystery to them. And if, into the bargain, it is all straightforward and comprehensible as well and freely accessible and trustworthy at the same time, then it becomes twice as easy. | :Access to knowledge is an important factor for any form of emancipation.
