We see it every day - the increasingly bitter and more strident battle for power and supremacy in digital media. But who's actually fighting against whom? Internationally renowned media expert Martin Andree shows how a coalition of Dark Tech, Trump and right-wing populists is openly making a power grab in a bid for autocracy. They are more and more in control of the public sphere via digital monopolies and thus the very foundation of our democracies. With each passing day, it gets harder to save our free world. Will we still be able to turn things around? Or will Europe end up divided, facing chaos and civil war?
