Join the Watch Party Data Morgana: Episode 1 ‘The Online Public Space’
The internet has fallen into the hands of a few Big Tech companies. With the promise to make our world better, fairer, and more efficient, they are collecting our data on a huge scale. Has this really made the world a better place, or is that merely an illusion – a ‘Data Morgana’?
With the Big Tech oligarchs taking more and more power, the time has come to reflect and mobilise more people into action.
