- Retreat from “X” (Twitter)
The DGM shares the view of around 60 universities and research institutions that recently announced the withdrawal of their X profiles (formerly Twitter) (for background information: https://idw-online.de/de/news845520).
“Der Rückzug ist Folge der fehlenden Vereinbarkeit der aktuellen Ausrichtung der Plattform mit den Grundwerten der beteiligten Institutionen: Weltoffenheit, wissenschaftliche Integrität, Transparenz und demokratischer Diskurs.“
