Das Internet muss weg

A fundamental reckoning with the internet from one of the most influential bloggers in the country: "The internet must go." It is precisely the blogger and online comedian Schlecky Silberstein who propagates this motto. Thanks to fake news, filter bubbles, and social bots, corporations, politicians, and criminals are increasingly gaining control over large parts of humanity. Schlecky Silberstein analyzes how our data is deliberately used as a commodity to influence our behavior. Not only did Donald Trump use the internet on his path to power, but our society also risks being directed by programmable propaganda machines. Is responsible use of the internet possible, or is immediate shutdown the only solution?.
