    Goals / Remit

    Digitalcourage e.V. (bis 2012: FoeBuD e.V.) setzt sich seit 1987 für Bürgerrechte und Datenschutz ein. Bei Digitalcourage treffen unterschiedlichste Menschen zusammen, die Technik und Politik kritisch erkunden und menschenwürdig gestalten wollen.

    Wir wehren uns dagegen, dass unsere Demokratie „verdatet und verkauft“ wird. Wir wollen keine Gesellschaft, in der Menschen nur noch als Marketingobjekte, Manövriermasse beim Abbau des Sozialstaates oder als potentielle Terroristen behandelt werden. Wir wollen eine lebendige Demokratie.

    Digitalcourage klärt durch Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Vorträge, Veranstaltungen und charmante Aktionen auf. So richtet Digitalcourage jährlich die BigBrotherAwards („Oscars für Datenkraken“) in Deutschland aus. Mit unserem Fachwissen mischen wir uns – auch ungefragt – in politische Prozesse ein. Digitalcourage arbeitet für eine lebenswerte Welt im digitalen Zeitalter.

    Main EU files targeted

    Digitalcourage beschäftigt sich insbesondere mit Datenschutz, Gestaltung der digitalen Gesellschaft, Netzneutralität, Verbraucherschutz, Internet der Dinge.

    Aus diesem Grund sind u.a. folgende EU-Vorhaben für uns derzeit besonders wichtig:
    Begleitung der EU-Gesetzgebung, insbesondere in den Bereichen Datenschutz-Grundverordnung, Privacy Directive, Vorratsdatenspeicherung, PNR.

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
