DSA – New rules for the internet
Find out more
Digital
Digital technologies enable us to communicate, travel, work, learn, study and socialize better – across national borders. According to the principles of the Internet, digital networking ensures more participation, more involvement, more knowledge for all and thus puts our democracy on a broader basis.
But in recent years, digital technologies have been used to concentrate power and wealth in a few hands. Google, Facebook and Co. control ever larger parts of the economy and the shaping of political opinions in Western countries. In China, digitization is being used to totally control society, so that any dissent can be nipped in the bud.
More than ever, we need freedom and justice. I am fighting for a solidary, green and feminist digitalization – for everyone.

No, the state of union is not good.
Dear friends! I actually wanted to send you a newsletter about yesterday’s State of the European Union, the EU Commission President’s key annual speech, with a focus on my analysis of her digital policy announcements.

Bargaining chip
Dear friends, Trump and Vance made it clear right at the start of their term in office: with them, there will be no European rules for US tech companies. They are to continue making huge profits from our data unhindered, while at the same time poisoning our democracies. Vance went so far as to […]

FREEDOM FOR FACTS: For true freedom of expression on online platforms!
Sign now! Lies spread faster than the truth. Opinion on major online platforms is not free, but determined by recommendation algorithms. Lies reach users three times faster on Facebook (1) and six times faster on Twitter (2). And that was before Zuckerberg bowed down to Trump and Musk took over Twitter. We can only guess […]

New study: How the men‘s internet is censoring women‘s health
Dear friends! A new and groundbreaking study by the Centre for Intimacy Justice shows how Amazon, Google, Meta and Tiktok suppress content related to women‘s health. Take Meta, for example, which rejects ads about breast cancer prevention, but accepts explicit advertising for male sexual performance. A staggering 63% of the reproductive and sexual health groups […]

My long read for the long weekend Dear friends! Past week, we took the first step towards independence from the big digital corporations in the US and China.

EU countries are harming European competitiveness by bowing to Trump on global minimum tax
Dear friends! If I didn’t believe so strongly in Europe, I would be despairing: just last week, the EU Commission finally imposed penalties on US corporations Apple and Meta for distorting competition, only to do exactly the opposite this week and throw the European economy under the bus. What happened? Today it was announced that […]
