Democracy does not promise freedom, nor does freedom promise democracy. They both tend to make the other much more likely, though.
Freedom - and I can only assume that by this, you mean life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness (or the original "property") and the inalienable attendant rights - is guarded bloodlessly only through democracy. It is most often attained at the barrel of a gun, but it can often be maintained with the vote (and defended with a well trained army).
So, I guess the real answer is that a person has as much freedom as they are willing to ensure.

How did the internet strengthen democracy?
I wouldn't say that internet strengthens democracy so much as it is a sign of democracy.

The reason for this is that the Internet symbolizes freedom - freedom of information, freedom to write and say what you want, freedom to talk to whomever you want...etc.
