Manifest des internationalen Symposiums „Kommunikation für soziale Gerechtigkeit im digitalen Zeitalter“
Summary
The document presents a manifesto from a September 2021 international symposium that advocates for a holistic and inclusive approach to digital technologies to protect human dignity and social justice. It establishes a series of rights for all individuals, including the right to communicate, participate in the information society, data privacy, and cultural identity.
