Dagesh | Rückblick: Dagesh-Netzwerktreffen anlässlich der Buchpremiere von Anna Schapiro
In today’s digital world, social media platforms don’t just host conversations – they shape them. Algorithmic ranking, AI-driven content, and reduced moderation and fact-checking amplify hate speech, antisemitism, anti-Muslim racism, racism and misinformation, threatening democratic values and inclusivity.
The event will feature two thought-provoking panel discussions moderated by Dr. Jonas Fegert with distinguished experts, exploring the impact of digital platforms on democracy and society. In the first panel, Dr. Sebastian Heidebrecht, Prof. Dr. Achim Rettinger, Benjamin Fischer, Natascha Strobl, and Judith Peterka will examine the challenges and opportunities of platform regulation and digital governance in shaping a democratic digital space.
The second panel will bring together Rosa Jellinek, Dr. Stefania Manca, Selin Aydin, and Alina Bricman for an in-depth discussion on hate speech and misinformation in online social networks.
Following the event, we warmly invite you to join us for a reception where we can continue the conversation.
We look forward to your presence and feel free to pass on our Invitation to interested colleagues.
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 | 4.30 PM (Doors open at 4 PM)
Location: Co-Innovation Factory | Absberggasse 27 / Stiege 1 / 3rd Floor | 1100 Vienna

“Historical responsibility cannot be voted away.” With these words, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation called on the federal and state governments last Sunday to legally safeguard the independence of memorial sites – particularly in Saxony-Anhalt – by: through funding structures that ensure these institutions remain operational even in the event of a politically motivated withdrawal of state funding; through the targeted involvement of smaller memorial sites and local initiatives; and through the expansion of existing networks for joint educational work, legal advice and public support in the event of attacks on the institutions and their staff.
