Will we be able to find our sources of information again? And how can we even make the switch? We are therefore all the more pleased that CCC experts are on hand in many cities to provide advice and assistance. This not only makes the move successful, but also sustainable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/2026\/02\/05\/international-sustainability-day-in-berlin\/\">International Sustainability Day<\/a> 2026, organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/\">Green Film Shooting<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenigma.de\">Greenigma<\/a> on February 14, 2026 during the Berlinale, Linus Neumann gave an insight into how social media analyzes our relationships and interests in order to use these findings as profitably as possible for advertising marketing or political influence. Artificial intelligence further reinforces this trend, as ever-increasing amounts of data can be evaluated, used automatically, and exploited economically.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This network effect can be counteracted if many users switch digital services, thereby protecting their independence, personal data, resilience, and democracy. The DI.DAY website offers tips for switching. Instructions provide specific information about privacy-friendly email providers, independent messengers such as Signal, and browsers such as Firefox. Meanwhile, more and more switch caf\u00e9s and local hubs are being set up.
