Deutschland hat gewählt, man weiß nur noch nicht, wer regieren wird. Bis Weihnachten könnte ein Koalitionsvertrag verhandelt worden sein, vielleicht auch später. Was sind die zu erwartenden großen Debatten der neuen Legislaturperiode?
Der Vortrag will dazu einen Wetterbericht abliefern, über die aktuellen Vorhaben, die noch aus der digitalen Agenda abgearbeitet werden und vor allem auf die Akteure, Interessen und Konfliktfelder der zu erwartenden kommenden netzpolitischen Debatten. Von Plattform-Regulierung über KI-Regulierung bis hin zur Frage der Produkthaftung.

France is part of the top countries trying to destroy encryption, especially through backdoor obligations, global interceptions, and effort to get access to master keys. French law already criminalises the use of encryption, imposing heavier penalties on people using it or regarding them as general suspects. How can we oppose this trend? What political role for developers?
