Project Details
Description
Demokratie-X is a research project aimed at developing a privacy-respecting, fair, and public welfare-oriented platform for news. The project is a response to the current digital news market domination by a few large platforms owned by global technology corporations, which raises concerns about media power concentration and its potential impact on democratic opinion-forming processes. By leveraging decentralized technologies, Demokratie-X seeks to create a more balanced and transparent news ecosystem that prioritizes user privacy and public interest over profit maximization.
