Negativpreis: „BigBrotherAwards“ an Großnutzer von US-Technik vergeben
Optiker, Kirche und Politik im Fokus: Die umstrittenen „BigBrotherAwards“ gehen an Akteure, die laut Digitalcourage-Verein Datenschutz und Privatsphäre riskieren.
This year, the Digitalcourage association awarded its "Big Brother Awards" primarily to major users and distributors of US tech giants. The organization criticizes actors in politics, industry, and civil society for their inadequate or questionable handling of data and privacy. This year's award recipients include optical companies Fielmann and Apollo, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, the Protestant Church, and the European Commission.
The association accuses the Protestant Land Church of obliging church communities to use Microsoft services like Microsoft 365, which would relocate sensitive data to a US corporation's cloud instead of secure alternatives. The "Big Brother Awards" aim to raise awareness about privacy issues and spark discussions before any damage is done.
