Less than a week to go till #FreeWebSearchDay comes back around! 🤗
Now, more than ever, we need to reinforce the importance of free & direct access to knowledge on the web. Additionally, we should all work on our search literacy skills – this is why awareness is key.

#FWSD is growing + gaining new supporters, such as Maike Scholz from BVDW e.V., who raises her voice to draw attention to this important topic!
Thank you Maike, for speaking up and supporting our mission!

📢 It's #FreeWebSearchDay 🥁

Let´s take a moment today to reflect on how #websearch impacts our professional & daily life. But also to look into how search results influence our decision making.

#FWSD promotes fair & transparent access to knowledge + ensuring #digitalsovereignty

We have many topics to tackle in the digital sphere still, such as:
📍 Identifying Fake News
📍 Eliminating Hate Speech
📍 Reducing Commercial Bias
📍 Safeguarding humanistic values
