How Wikipedia, Mastodon and co. are challenging the tech giants

More freedom and more democracy were the great promises of the internet. However, power is now concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants. Yet the internet itself offers a solution to preserve its original promise of freedom: the non-commercial digital counter-world. These include the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, the Twitter alternative Mastodon, the Firefox browser and the messenger Signal.

Stefan Mey is an investigative IT journalist with a background in social sciences. He not only knows the big IT companies, but also many unknown projects in the digital counter-world from the inside.

The Admission is free.
