Published: 30 September 2021
Analysis
The German parliamentary election campaign played out on the internet as never before.

Referat
The digital transformation has changed the way we learn, work and communicate. However, the increase in automated and autonomous decisions, the formation of monopolies and the enormous consumption of resources through digitalisation also present us with regulatory challenges. The Heinrich Böll Foundation sees itself as an impulse generator for design approaches: The digital transformation must be shaped in a participatory, confident and sustainable way.
