Positions and controversies

Digital politics and allegations of restriction of freedom of expression

Tankred Schipanski has been dealing with digital politics since his election to the Bundestag. He is a supporter of the abolition of WLAN interference liability and the Network Enforcement Act and appeared as a critic of the so-called upload filters in the course of the 2019 EU copyright reform . Together with other cnetz members, Schipanski drafted the lead proposal “Digital Charter Innovation Platform: D”, which was accepted by the CDU federal party conference in 2019. The Handelsblatt rated this as a weakening of data protection.

In May 2019, Schipanski stood behind controversial statements by CDU chairwoman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer , who had initiated a discussion about political "opinion making " on the Internet and demanded rules for influencers before elections. In social networks, Kramp-Karrenbauer was accused of having suggested that expressions of opinion on the Internet be regulated before elections. Schipanski claimed that this was a deliberate misinterpretation.

Education and research policy

In addition, one of Schipanski's political themes is educational federalism. He helped draft the “ Freedom of Science Act” passed in 2012 and, in 2014, was committed to lifting the so-called prohibition of cooperation between the federal government and the federal states in university funding and, in 2017, to introducing the science barrier in copyright law. In 2019, he supported the federal government's amendment to the Basic Law to promote the digital infrastructure in schools, which was passed under the heading “ Digital Pact Schools ”.

Right to adopt homosexuals

Schipanski commented on the judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court on the right of adoption for homosexuals with the words “No great hour of the BVerfG today. Idea of ​​adoption rights for homosexuals misjudges the basic idea of ​​marriage and family ”. via the short message service Twitter and on its Facebook page. Critics accused him of homophobia in their comments . He told Thüringer Allgemeine that he was surprised by the reactions.
