The power of internet giants
Adult education centre: Lecture on 24 March, 7 p.m., event hall in the TIETZ
On Thursday, 24 March, from 7 to 8.30 p.m., the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre invites interested parties to a lecture on the dominant power of the internet giants Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft in the TIETZ event hall.
In his lecture entitled "The diabolical five", journalist Stefan Mey explains everything that belongs to the empires and shows ways to break their data power.
Participation is free of charge. Registration is possible here: Link to the event.
There are millions of apps and websites on the internet and billions of users. However, the data of this gigantic digital world is concentrated in a few large companies: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. These "devilish five" have divided up the most important markets. They dominate the market for search engines, PC operating systems, app stores, online retail, online advertising and social networks, among others. A concentration of data is a concentration of power. IT companies can potentially use their wealth of data to zoom into the lives of every individual and population group.
The event is part of the VHS project "trau.schau.wem? faktenfest und mediensicher". It is dedicated to the topics of media work, journalism and dealing with the media in a variety of formats such as workshops, lectures and guided tours. The project is funded by the Saxon State Media Authority (SLM).
