Digital Services Act
New rules for the internet: with the Digital Services Act, Europe is stipulating new rules for internet services and platforms. They are urgently needed. In recent years, the internet has evolved from being a vibrant garden of freedom to a world dominated by just a few conglomerates who mark out the paths, where the recommendation mechanisms of Google, Facebook, Amazon and co. pose highly dangerous risks to our democracy through misinformation, hatred and rabble-rousing. We want a free and democratic internet where public debate is not controlled by profit interests.
