re:publica 2020 livestream: Five tips for the network conference

  • “Fake Facts – How Conspiracy Ideologies Determine Our Thinking” (14.30-14.55, stream “ASAP 2”, discussion from 3.05 p.m. in “Deep Dive 2”
    A book by Katharina Nocun and Pia Lamberty will be published at the end of May under the title “Fake Facts”. For her lecture on the topic, the net activist and the psychologist promise an instructive short trip “into the crude world of conspiracy fantasies”. It will also be about the psychological mechanisms that ensure that some people, for example, consider the earth to be flat or perceive 5G not as a new mobile standard, but as a tool for mind control. Katharina Nocun then answers questions via “Deep Dive”.

  • “The rule of law and human rights in the pandemic” (3 p.m.-3.25 p.m., stream “ASAP 1”, discussion from 3.35 p.m. on “Deep Dive 2”
    From the obligation to wear masks to the ban on contact: the rules that the federal and state governments have put in place in the face of the Corona pandemic in recent weeks seem too lax for some people. Others find it disproportionately harsh. In this lecture, Lea Beckmann and Lena Rohrbach summarize how their organisations – Amnesty International and the Society for Freedom Rights (GFF) – assess the measures taken. This is about the role of the ‘fundamental principles of the rule of law’ and ‘where our fundamental and human rights fall by the wayside’. Discussions can then be held in the “Deep Dive”.

  • “#CoronaSchule: Digital Morning Circle and School Trip to New York” (5.25-5.50 p.m., stream “ASAP 1”, discussion from 6 p.m. in “Deep Dive 1”, in German)
    “The coronavirus could become the most effective training measure of the century,” educational scientist Michael Schratz wrote in a guest article for the Standard – and was convinced that the “school of tomorrow” could learn something from “the crisis of today.” In his re:publica-talk and in-depth “Deep Dive”, Schratz talks to Maike Schubert and Maria Kruse about how the coronavirus has turned their school life around. It is supposed to be about “new opportunities” and “old problems”.

  • “Content Moderation: Who decides what is true?” (7.25-7.50 p.m., stream “ASAP 2”
    During the Corona crisis, there is heated debate on portals such as YouTube and Facebook. Justifiable fears meet there with trivializations of the virus or sometimes personal hostility. In this discussion, civil rights activist Jillian York and David Kaye, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, discuss whether and how platform operators should influence this debate.

  • “Twitter Trending Topics: Report of a Participating Observation” (8.25-8.50 p.m., stream “ASAP 2”
    Twitter’s “Trends” box highlights trending hashtags around the clock. Sometimes they have to do with the news – as in the case of #Kalou , sometimes a la #annewill with the television program, sometimes as with #gutenmorgen simply with everyday life. But how many individual tweets does it take for a hashtag to become a trend? And what was the top trend of the past few months? This is explained by data analyst Luca Hammer using self-collected data.
