Plattform Demokratie America Research Clinic

Forschungsklinik Amerikas – Plattform://Demokratie

Plattformen sind Gesetzgeberin und Umsetzerin von und Richterin über Online-Sprachregeln. Ihre Normen und algorithmischen Praktiken bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren. Aber wie können wir öffentliche Werte in digitalen Kommunikationsordnungen integrieren? Und welche? In vier regionalen Forschungskliniken wollen wir beleuchten, wie die normative Infrastruktur für bessere Strukturen zur Regelsetzung, -durchsetzung und -beurteilung in digitalen hybriden Kommunikationsräumen geschaffen werden kann. In diesen Kliniken werden wir die einzigartigen institutionellen Erfahrungen und individuellen Hintergründe der Klinik-Teilnehmer*innen nutzen, um Vorschläge zu erarbeiten, wie Online-Kommunikationsräume demokratisiert und ihrer Regeln und Praxen sozial-nachhaltiger werden können.

Über das Projekt

Das Projekt “Plattform://Demokratie: Plattformräte als Instrument der demokratischen Rückbindung hybrider Online-Ordnungen” erforscht, inwiefern die Diskursregeln auf Plattformen auf öffentliche Werte ausgerichtet werden können. Im Zentrum steht dabei folgende Frage: Können “Plattformräte” oder andere Institutionen dafür sorgen, dass öffentliche Interessen und demokratische Werte in den Regelsetzungsprozessen von Plattformen berücksichtigt werden?
