Digitale Gesellschaft (literally, Digital Society) is a German registered association founded in 2010, that is committed to civil rights and consumer protection in terms of internet policy.
The founding members of the association are Markus Beckedahl , Andreas Gebhard , Falk Steiner, Matthias Mehldau, Andre Meister, Markus Reuter, Benjamin von der Ahe , Rüdiger Weis , and John Weitzmann.
Benjamin Bergemann is a spokesman. [1]
One of the aims of the interest group is to build a campaign infrastructure, and also to reach people who are not internet-savvy. Their founder, Beckedahl stated that "more effective advocacy toward politics and economy" is also a part of their mission. [2]
As of May 2012, the group has approximately thirty members. According to Beckedahl, the small number of full members is necessary to build an infrastructure before opening up to more people. [3]
The group has worked on topics such as ACTA, Open government, open data, information privacy, telecommunications data retention, copyright, and net neutrality. [4]
In 2013, they led a demonstration at Checkpoint Charlie, during Barack Obama's visit, against the NSA surveillance program PRISM. [5]
