Join us on a journey into the realms of our digital society: In the new season of Exploring Digital Spheres our SET-project research team travels to five different countries on three continents in order to explore the intersection of sustainability and digitalisation and talk to local experts about their endeavours. In the first season of the podcast you got to know HIIG researchers and their diverse research backgrounds. We asked them how our digital society works and what its future might look like. Every other episode, the researchers entered into a dialogue with other digital mavericks!

Rike Maier on remixes and upload filters
Ever worried about not being able to put your video up on Youtube? More than hundred hours of videos are uploaded every minute. So how do platforms make sure people obey the rules? How to make sure this content is not stolen? They use automatic filters, which have caused some nasty side effects.
Rike Maier is copyright researcher and associated at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG). Wouter Bernhardt interviewed Rike about her research and what upload filter exactly do.
