Die Debatte mit Ann Kristin Schenten, Julia Pohle und Ingo Dachwitz --- "Big Tech ist der größte Lobbyist in Brüssel." (Julia Pohle) --- Big Tech war einst ein Heilsversprechen: Internet für alle, die große digitale Revolution. Heute jedoch liegt die Macht im Netz bei wenigen Konzernen – Google, Meta, Alphabet und Co. Wir alle sind von ihnen abhängig. Dabei wäre es dringend nötig, digitale Souveränität aktiv zu gestalten, meint die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Julia Pohle. In Brüssel hätte sich immerhin starke Regulierungsmacht etabliert, betont der Journalist Ingo Dachwitz – und appelliert zugleich an unsere Verantwortung: Wer den Weg in die digitale Unabhängigkeit gehen und Big Tech verstehen will, darf den globalen Süden nicht vergessen. Welche Antworten finden wir auf die wachsende – und zunehmend politische – Macht von Big Tech? --- Ingo Dachwitz ist Kommunikationswissenschaftler und arbeitet als politischer Tech-Journalist für das preisgekrönte Investigativmedium netzpolitik.org. 2025 hat er gemeinsam mit Sven Hilbig das Sachbuch "Digitaler Kolonialismus - Wie Tech-Konzerne und Großmächte die Welt unter sich aufteilen" im C.H. Beck Verlag veröffentlicht. --- Julia Pohle ist Co-Leiterin der Forschungsgruppe Politik der Digitalisierung am Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB). Zudem ist sie assoziierte Forscherin an der Brussels School of Governance und dem CNRS in Paris. Ihre zentralen Forschungsthemen sind globale Digitalpolitik, Internet Governance und internationale Kommunikationspolitik. --- Mehr Infos s. www.radiodrei.de/derzweitegedanke --- Schreiben Sie uns direkt an derzweitegedanke@radiodrei.de.

In den letzten Jahren ist die Zahl der Internetnutzer:innen weltweit kontinuierlich gewachsen, während vielen Menschen der Zugang zum Netz nach wie vor verwehrt bleibt. Gleichzeitig berichten zahlreiche Regionen von sogenannten Internet-Shutdowns. Im Lichte dieser Entwicklungen betonte Volker Türk, der UN-Hochkommissar für Menschenrechte: „Es sollte an der Zeit sein, den universellen Zugang zum Internet als Menschenrecht und nicht nur als Privileg zu stärken.“ Diese Umstände heizen die Debatte über den Internetzugang als Menschenrecht weiter an. Zu diesem Anlass interviewt Jasmin Wachau den Internetrechtexperten Matthias Kettemann. Im Gespräch wird zunächst die völkerrechtliche Begründung dieses Rechts sowie dessen zwei zentrale Dimensionen ergründet: die Infrastruktur- und die Inhaltsdimension. Daraus ergeben sich spannende Fragen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Rolle von Staaten und privaten Akteur:innen in diesem Kontext.Gleichzeitig wird ein kritischer Blick auf den Status quo geworfen: Fußen die derzeitigen Bestrebungen darauf, den Internetzugang weltweit auszubauen, wirklich auf menschenrechtlichen Beweggründen, oder beobachten wir die Auswüchse eines digitalen Kolonialismus? Um uns in das spannende Themengebiet einzuführen, erklärt Isabel Lischewski im Grundlagenteil die wesentlichen Aspekte der Internet Governance. Sie geht dabei näher auf die Rolle der Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ein. Wir freuen uns über jede Rückmeldung!

The digital revolution has created unprecedented opportunities for children and young people across the globe to communicate, learn, and socialise.However, browsing the internet as artificial intelligence gathers pace, also presents dangers – from sexual abuse to cyberbullying – highlighting the need for smarter and more effective regulation to keep youngsters safe.As the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) holds its annual forum on Science, Technology and Innovation, UN News's Emma Trager-Lewis spoke to Baroness Kidron, Founder of 5Rights, a UK-based organization dedicated to children's rights in the digital world.Emma began by asking the former film director and producer, who addressed Tuesday's session on harnessing AI for sustainable development, why she first got involved in campaigning for digital rights.

As the internet becomes more integral to economic development, cultural diplomacy, and public governance, there may be strategic value in having custom generic top-level domains (gTLDs).

In this episode, we explore a topic that sits at the heart of global digital policy: the contrasting visions of internet governance championed by the United States and its Western allies versus those promoted by China and nations in its orbit. This debate is playing out across various international venues and has profound implications for the future of digital rights, privacy, and the open internet. Justin Hendrix is joined by experts at the Atlantic Council that study these issues from a variety of angles and across multiple geographies, including:Rose Jackson, the director of the Democracy + Tech Initiative within the Atlantic Council Technology Programs;Konstantinos Komaitis, a nonresident fellow with the Democracy + Tech Initiative of the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab;Kenton Thibaut, a senior resident China fellow at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab; andIria Puyosa, a senior research fellow at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab.

For the past 77 years, since the founding of Pakistan at the partition of British held India, the United States and Pakistan have worked together to try and bring stability to this region of the world. As the fifth largest country in the world, as measured by population, and sitting at a geopolitical strategic crossroads, Pakistan remains an important partner on a wide range of issues of global, regional, and national interest. Whether it is managing their own relations with India, balancing the interests of the United States and China, or working on transnational issues such as climate change and terrorism, this country plays a key role in responding to the various challenges facing the world today. In this episode, we speak with Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Masood Khan, to explore the role that Pakistan would like to fill in the international system, to discuss where interests overlap, and to identify what Pakistan wants to see from its relationship with the United States. Through this conversation, we highlight the importance of understanding the deeper relationships than what is typically talked about. By discussing how the US-Pakistan relationship goes deeper than counterterrorism, we can better understand the ways this relationship can be leveraged to benefit both countries. Ambassador Masood Khan is currently serving as Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, a role he has held since 2022. Prior to that he was the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir from August 2016 to August 2021. Immediately before becoming the President he was the Director General of the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad, one of the top think tanks in Pakistan.Ambassador Masood Khan had a distinguished diplomatic career.

Newstalk ZB can reveal allegations the Christchurch Call has silenced members of its Advisory Network - and pressured them to not release critical reports of member countries. Because of that, a group called the Internet Governance Project, has quit. Project founder and Network reviewer, Milton Mueller says India wasn't honouring its commitments. "They really didn't seem to have much of an official commitment to go along with the Christchurch Call at all, so we simply wrote that up." Meanwhile, the Government says it will soon reveal whether it will keep paying Dame Jacinda Ardern to work on the Christchurch Call. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is the Internet governed? Who sets the rules for the Internet, civil society, and government control? How much input should techies have, and how much should government control things? These are questions we don't often ask, and yet are crucial to building and operating networks connected to the global Internet. George Michaelson joins Toms and Russ to talk about Internet governance—including contrary views of where things should be versus where they are.

Thanks to the growing prominence of Artificial intelligence (AI), .ai, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla has experienced an exponential increase in the take-up of .ai domains. However, Caribbean countries have not been aggressive in increasing the take-up and use of their ccTLDs, though there are numerous opportunities to be had. With longstanding players in the global Internet Governance space, Lance Hinds, of Guyana, and Carlton Samuels, of Jamaica, we discuss:    *  the benefits of using ccTLDs;   *  why some countries enjoy a large number of active ccTLDs;   *  reasons why Caribbean countries have not sought to foster greater use of their ccTLDs; and    *  ways in which Caribbean countries can increase the attractiveness and consequently the value of their ccTLDs.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show and leave us a review!     Also, connect with us on: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ICTPulse/  Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/ictpulse/  Twitter –  https://twitter.com/ICTPulse  LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/company/3745954/admin/  Join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/qnUtj    Music credit: The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie), by Andy Narrell Podcast editing support:  Mayra Bonilla Lopez   ---------------- Also, Sponsorship Opportunities!

Two of the long-tail fears surrounding the future of the internet are the danger of creating either an internet controlled by the hands of the few and powerful at a global scale or what's known as the “splinternet”—the cabining off of nation-states' networks from the mainstream due to censorship, technological change, or commercial fragmentation. Susan Ness sees something that lies between those poles. As a former FCC commissioner, Ness has extensive insight into the national and international machinations of the superstructure of our internet, and she has been crafting a new framework for understanding where the internet could go. Modularity is a co-regulatory approach to internet platform governance that helps to align democracies despite different legal systems, different regulatory horizons, and different societal norms. But how can we ensure that more illiberal governments don't take advantage of this much more federated approach?In this episode, Shane explores Ness' concept of modularity from all sides. Tune in as they connect the nodes on internet governance innovation!

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind Podcast by the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. In this episode, Joe Catapano, ILPF Class 4 fellow interviews Edward McNair, Executive Director of the North America Network Operators Group (NANOG). We all know the role that lawyers and government officials play in contributing to tech policy, but how do the people that “make it work” (e.g. network operators, software engineers) help develop the rules of the road? NANOG is just one of many organizations that bring technical expertise to the table, whether it's feeding into formal policymaking processes at global multi-stakeholder bodies, or raising awareness with lawmakers. Hear how NANOG works to represent the needs and views of the Internet's technical communities. You can read Edward's full bio on the NANOG website.

We have already discussed the importance of paying attention to how media technologies are powerful when they are ordinary and relatively invisible. When they work like ‘appliances' in daily life. This was the key message of McLuhan's ‘medium theory' as well as theories of media domestication. These perspectives are limited, however, in that they tend to imagine media technologies individually: the television, the radio, the smart home assistant. They rely on an image of artefacts showing up in our home or office; user-friendly things which extend our contact with others or provide us with certain experiences. We sometimes ignore these domesticated artefacts and things. But we almost always ignore what lies below, or beyond: the vast, dispersed infrastructures on which these media technologies depend. In this episode, we consider media technologies as large-scale infrastructures. If we were to push the boundaries, we could point to all kinds of infrastructural dependencies related about by media: electrical power; water networks; or the mining or rare metals. We will focus however on the internet, as itself a technological infrastructure. This is perhaps the only case where it might make sense to refer to ‘the Internet' as a proper noun, with the capitalised ‘I'. Thinking of the internet as an infrastructure takes on obvious importance when we look at its history, from its inception as ARPANET, a cold war project in the wake of the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957, to its more complicated interweaving with other technologies and ideas in subsequent years. While many still tend to describe the internet as an intangible or ‘virtual' space, we will show that it in fact material, physical, subject to political manipulation and contestation, and increasingly acknowledged as rather fragile.      Thinkers Discussed: Lisa Parks (‘Stuff You Can Kick': Towards a Theory of Media Infrastructures); James Carey (The Telegraph and Ideology); Nicole Starosielski (The Undersea Network); Jean-Christophe Plantin, Carl Lagoze, Paul N Edwards and Christian Sandvig (Infrastructure Studies meet Platform Studies in the Age of Google and Facebook); John Durham Peters (The Marvelous Clouds: Towards a Philosophy of Elemental Media); Michel Callon (Some Elements of a Sociology of Translation: Domestication of the Scallops and the Fishermen of St Brieuc Bay); Susan Leigh-Star (The Ethnography of Infrastructure); Paul Dourish and Genevieve Bell (Divining a Digital Future: Mess and Mythology in Ubiquitous Computing); Manuel Castells (The Internet Galaxy); Lori Emerson (Other Networks); Laura DeNardis (The Internet in Everything: Freedom and Security in a World with No Off Switch / Hidden Levers of Internet Control: An Infrastructure-Based Theory of Internet Governance); Mercedes Bunz and Graham Meikle (The Internet of Things); Joana Moll (CO2GLE); Alexander Galloway (Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization); Gilles Deleuze (Postscript on Societies of Control).

We've got a three part jumbo show today. First, we'll dive in to the results of the annual Freedom on the Net report from Freedom House with Allie Funk, Senior Research Analyst for Technology and Democracy at Freedom House. Then, we're going to look at one place where internet freedoms are at risk- Canada, where a new proposal to regulate online harms looms- with Michael Geist, Professor of Law and Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and Daphne Keller, who directs the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center. And then, we're going to talk about the complexity of generating policies for content management on social media- and how a well-crafted multi-stakeholder approach can help- with Chris Riley, senior fellow of Internet Governance at the R Street Institute, a think thank in Washington D.C.

Downstairs at the White House (0:38)Guest: Donald Stinson, Author, “Downstairs at the White House”Media outlets these days have entire teams dedicated to sniffing out the intrigue going on inside the White House: Who's meeting with whom. Who's feuding with whom. And every one who leaves a job inside the eventually writes a tell-all memoir, but I've never read one quite like Donald Stinson's. In 1973, when he was 17 years old, Stinson talked his way into a series of low-level jobs making copies and delivering mail in the White House. He wasn't important, but he met lots of important people – often by loitering outside the Oval Office, which did not amuse the Secret Service. In the end, Don Stinson got himself a front row seat to the most momentous political events of the time, including the resignation of President Nixon.

Virtually every hospital in the US has had to delay surgery or come up with a treatment workaround because of chronic drug shortages. Most of the time these are generic drugs, so, you'd think they'd be plentiful and cheap. A group of about 750 hospitals decided they'd had enough of those shortages and formed a nonprofit drug manufacturer to be their supplier.
