The Study Commission Internet and Digital Society examined of 5 May 2010 to 5 April 2013, the impact of the Internet on politics and society and made recommendations for Parliament (see final report). The 17th German Bundestag unanimously decided to set up the commission on March 4, 2010.

Activity of the project groups

The commission started its work on May 5, 2010. In contrast to previous study commissions, all meetings were public and broadcast as a live stream. Reports from the project groups were also posted on the website. The interested public was involved in the work via a participation platform. There was also a blog.

By December 2012, the commission had presented inventories and recommendations for action on the following topics:

  • Media literacy
  • copyright
  • Net neutrality
  • Data protection, personal rights
  • Education and Research
  • Economy, work, green IT
  • Democracy and the state

Participation platform

In February 2011 the participation platform of the study commission went online on the website www.enquetebeteiligung.de. This was developed by the Liquid Democracy eV association on the basis of the Adhocracy software and was temporarily financed. Citizens were able to take notes on the working papers and also introduce their own recommendations for action. In the end, the commission decided whether the suggestions would appear in the report. So far, texts and ideas from the participation platform have been published in the report on all completed topics.

criticism

The chairman of the commission, Axel E. Fischer , was criticized and ridiculed on the Internet for calling for a “ ban on masking ”, ie an “ obligation to use real names on the Internet ”.

On July 4, 2011, the commission should vote on the interim report of the net neutrality project group . The vote, which had already been postponed, was postponed again to autumn, which met with great criticism from the Internet community. In the vote in October 2011, neither the proponents nor the opponents of strict net neutrality prevailed. While the CDU / CSU and FDP and parts of the experts named by these parties wanted to allow different service classes at different speeds, this was rejected by the opposition parties and the narrow majority of the experts, so that the vote ended 17-17.
