Deepfake-Gesetz: Schutz vor digitaler Gewalt – oder Angriff auf Meinungsfreiheit?
Die Bundesregierung will Deepfakes strafbar machen. Klingt erst einmal richtig. Pornografische Fälschungen.Rufmord.Erniedrigung. Wer will das verteidigen? Aber genau hier beginnt das Problem. Denn unter dem moralisch maximal aufgeladenen Stichwort „digitale Gewalt“ wird gerade ein Gesetz auf den Weg gebracht, das viel weiter reicht – und dessen Grenzen erschreckend unklar sind.

If young people vote for the AfD, then of course “migration” is to blame
Spahn essentially says: a 16-year-old feels the consequences of “failed integration” more strongly—at school, when going out, at the train station, at the swimming pool. That is the reason for the growing support for the AfD. Translated, that means: young people are not reacting ideologically. They are reacting based on experience. And that is exactly the point people do not want to say out loud. Because if young Read more

Marlas Army
Texte. Stim. Freiheit.
Marlas Army is a publishing project by Marla Svenja Liebich This is where texts, chronicles, and personal observations from exile are created— political, historical, and social. The ongoing Exile Chronicle connects contemporary history with the present and documents how language, power, and reality change.
At the same time, it serves Marlas Army beyond the digital space: many readers pick up impulses, ideas, and attitudes from the texts and independently put them into practice in projects, discussions, and everyday decisions. In this way, the project also takes shape in real life—decentralized, voluntary, and beyond formal structures.
