Yesterday, we went to the EU-Commission’s headquarter in Brussels to protest for a Google break-up. Commissioner Ribera did the right thing with her adtech-decision. Now, she has to stay firm & resist pressure from inside the Commission & from the other side of the Atlantic. Time to break up Google!

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a one-sided lobby forum with privileged access for corporations and their owners. We are in Davos to criticise this. Alternatives for a one-sided lobby forum are overdue. We need open and balanced discussions on the future of the world.
