He belongs to the executive board of the German Green Party and he managed to legally forced the withdrawal of stored communication data related to him. Malte was only able to get the data relating to himself. The numbers and locations of the people he had communicated with were also saved but he did not obtain this data. The German weekly newspaper "ZEIT ONLINE" published the received data. The graphics show the power and danger of the communication data very starkly. On the friday evening, Malte Spitz will be speaking at our meeting together with Prof. Dr. Christian Wolff in the capacity of experts for the technical side and Mrs Sabine Sobola will be responsable for the legal background. We are trying to organise a simultaneous translation of the symposium. Only this part of the weekend will be held in german.

Two aspects will be covered in this event: on the one hand we would like to provide a platform for citizens to do lobbying in Brussels and on the other we want to do public relations locally. Now, how will we achieve these results? Quite easily: We call the Members of the European Parliament on the phone. Of course we will not do this quietly in our room - we will go public and meet in a cybercafé/internet café/callshop and invite the press and the public to be part of it. Planning-Page in german
