Digital rights with Ulf Buermeyer
What exactly are “digital fundamental rights”? How is it that the political phrase “The internet is not a legal vacuum” has been with us for over 30 years? And how do we protect our democratic values when public discourse increasingly takes place on private platforms? Markus Beckedahl explores these questions in conversation with Ulf Buermeyer in Part 3 of the “re:publicast Special”.
The EU’s internt policy with Elina Eickstädt
Elina Eickstädt, known as “Khaleesi”, has set herself a massive task: explaining the internet and how it works to politicians. In this episode of re:publicast, host Jonas Ross talks to her about the urgent need to organise the digital space in a way that is both democratic and legally secure.

It becomes clear that the city of the future is much more than a collection of cement or planted house walls – it is a complex network of mobility, coexistence and the urge for individual freedom.
