Dimitris Papastergiou, minister of digital governance in #Greece:

»“In ancient Greece, everyone could express their opinion openly and by name – they would raise their hand and share their view. This should inspire us as we shape a new digital democracy,” the minister told Euractiv on the sidelines of the Delphi Economic Forum.«

Everyone except women, slaves, adolescents, residents who were citizens of other cities (metics), residents with a mother from another city (metroxenoi), and a few others, as well.

In Athens, the privileged group of male, adult citizens that Papastergiou calls "everybody" made up only 30% of the population.

So if you're after establishing the rule of such privileged who have nothing to fear, go for the "ancient Greek" role model.
