Digital Independence Day
The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and other organisations have launched the Digital Independence Day (DID). The initiative intends to strengthen personal independence from profit-oriented big-tech corporations, intransparent algorithms, and anti-democratic platforms. Alternative technologies which are more open, more local, or simply less problematic should get a chance and be tried out instead, with the explicit aim to leave the harmful services and platforms behind.
The core idea of DID is simple: Every month on the first Sunday, take the time to make the switch that you've been idle on actually doing. At our events, we provide the room, internet access, and personal support to make a step towards an increased personal independence. We answer questions and provide the space for participants to share their knowledge and experience.
A group of people at Chaostreff Bern have volunteered to help with this project and organize monthly events.
No registration is necessary to visit the events.
