Wie kann man Facebook & Co zügeln?

20 April 2018

Podiumsdiskussion

Facebook und Google arbeiten mit unseren persönlichen Daten, ohne dass wir Nutzer genau wissen, wie diese verwendet werden.

Wir laden Sie zu einer Diskussion über die Macht von Google und Facebook und den Kampf um die Datenhoheit ein – am 24. April im WZB.

As such, the striking inequalities between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians cannot be understood without an appreciation of the history and persistent impact over time of profound dispossession, exclusion, discrimination, marginalisation and inequality, in various forms.
