A resilient digital ecosystem in which social and democratic issues are constantly taken into account – this is what Carla Hustedt, Director of the Centre for Digital Society at Stiftung Mercator, is working for. A fundamental part of this is looking at power structures and the distribution of knowledge: „At the moment, one of the core problems is that we have a strong concentration of knowledge between a handful of private-sector players. We need to create more transparency here to facilitate the effective enforcement of fundamental rights, to develop new approaches to solutions from science and civil society, and to raise consumer awareness.“
