  • Authorities sometimes need complaints and evidence.
  • You can be an inspiration.
  • Journalists dropped the ball
  • Time for action.

Youtubers' Union

Youtubers are affected by algorithms demonetizing their content, based on unclear criteria. In the FairTube campaign, they are demanding better working conditions, mostly through transparency. They are exercising these demands collectively in an alliance with IG Metall (one of Europe's largest labor unions), with a threat of going individual(!) through the GDPR.

By now they got out of their ultimatum to Youtube some formal sitdown encounter.

Uber drivers

Transparency surface

  • Black hat hackers use the so-called "attack surface" of a system to figure out its weaknesses, for their own profit.
  • White hats do the same, but for the collective benefit.


  • concept
