 Hi, we are Rena Tungens and Lena Simon from Social Swarm We do this talk in English because this is an international project despite we both speak German usually Well next slide, please We all know face boogal is evil because depending on big corporations who give a shit about laws privacy or any issues that concern us and And you all know it's central data storage and the corporations have access to it There's the danger of manipulation because Facebook knows it all and Users are not the customers. They are the products being sold We all know this face boogal is evil But most people here even use it anyway Boycott seems futile Slide please the problem is there's one other really important feature about Facebook. It's awesome It really it really does a lot of good stuff and people can connect and that's why all the non-nerds use it very much and It really works in getting people Wanting to use it and that's the reason why boycotting it It doesn't really work as well because I don't want to live in a world where 80% of the people can be manipulated easily through social networks, so slide please so far there has been a lot of Ideas how to solve the problem there was for example the quit Facebook day We had the suicide machine where you could erase your Facebook profile There was a huge donations when diaspora Launched the project and we have plenty of other alternative projects software projects or things like the freedom boxes where where people put a lot of hard work to Getting ideas what how we can solve the Facebook problem this year the Facebook was awarded with a big brother award and We are having more and more Mostly negative headlines about Facebook in the media slight Well, what is the idea of the social swarm? We want to go somewhere nicer and we want to do it together and this means we want to reunite forces We want to form a think tank with all the other projects We don't want just to program one new project but we want to connect them and Our our goals are free software open standards to connect. We want end-to-end encryption We want de-central data storage and we want alternative funding This means do not trade your data for free access to a platform We want to create a hype we want to make it cool to change somewhere else and to work on a new project And we want to have the cake and eat it too We want to be want to have real privacy and we want to connect next slide So now it's your turn where we did our short version of the talk.
