Zur Verwirklichung eines digitalen Humanismus VON ERICH PREM - goo.gl/scholar/VyuSFm #ScholarAlerts
The data transfers are only one part in the much larger play of European values versus the reality of EU digital power. Digital power means who can control and enforce their will upon whom, digitally. Some consequential decisions lie ahead.
Great overview of the absurd state of the #TADPF and EU-US data transfers. We expect a collaps any time - with 90% of EU companies having to adjust their IT systems to comply with the basics of the #GDPR.

A key criterion of democracy is how easy it is to get rid of the leaders. Company owners, for example, are hard to get rid of and so are tyrants.

IWM just published my essay on digitally enforced norms. I am critically discussing our apparent desire for computers to control and to limit our behaviour so that people no longer violate norms. In German for now.
