Media about us

"Recently, we have been hearing a lot about pathologies in social networks, streaming services or among youtubers. In the ongoing discussion, some commentators seem to forget about the broad context of online creators' activities. Removing – often with difficulty – individuals or individual content that constitutes a socially unacceptable message, in practice changes nothing."
