So I got sick another time at New Year’s Eve and after two sluggish nights I decided to watch some videos of this year’s Chaos Communication Congress for the first time in my life.
There are much too many of them so I took only in account of those which were presented by at least one female person – or by Wolfie Christl, hahaha.
So this is my personal selection:
- Lena Rohrbach et al.: The Untold Story of Edward Snowden’s Escape from Hong Kong
- Aylin Caliskan: A Story of Discrimination and Unfairness
- Maya Ganesh: Ethics in the data society
- Raquel Meyers: Keys of Fury
- Julia Reda: Copywrongs 2.0
- Nika Dubrovsky: Anthropology for kids – What is privacy?
- Benni & Dorina: Zwischen Technikbegeisterung und kritischer Reflexion – Chaos macht Schule
- Wolfie Christl: Corporate surveillance, digital tracking, big data & privacy
Btw: Why is the usage of those ugly rant comics “characters” still a thing? I despise those with deep affection since their inception and in my eyes they needlessly and instantly thwart even the best presentation.

Facebook Doesn’t Tell Users Everything It Really Knows About Them.

Digital minimalism is a philosophy that helps you question what digital communication tools (and behaviors surrounding these tools) add the most value to your life. It is motivated by the belief that intentionally and aggressively clearing away low-value digital noise, and optimizing your use of the tools that really matter, can significantly improve your life.
