This decision raises serious concerns that, without oversight, the platforms could be flooded with disinformation and used for propaganda purposes.

Martha Stolze is focusing closely on these challenges. She is a research associate in the “Platform Algorithms and Digital Propaganda” research group at the Weizenbaum Institute.

Her dissertation is dedicated to the role of gender in Russian online information campaigns.

Moritz Becker on Blockchain Technology

Wednesday, February 2, 2022 • Duration 19:12

Even though blockchain technology is on everyone’s radar, there is still a lot of confusion and lack of clarity about how blockchain technology actually works and how it could be useful not only for the general public but also for the field of internet governance. In this episode we talk to Moritz Becker, researcher in the research group "Trust in Distributed Environments" at the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. We discuss the concept blockchain as well as its practical implementation in so-called decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Do blockchain-based systems really offer a more inclusive and democratic alternative for organizational systems?
