Die Corona-, Ukraine- und Energie-Krise haben insbesondere der Mittelschicht arg zugesetzt. Für den Journalisten Jens Berger war es Anlass genug, seinen Bestseller «Wem gehört Deutschland?» komplett zu überarbeiten. Die Bilanz fällt vernichtend aus: Die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich ist so weit auseinandergeklafft, dass dringender Handlungsbedarf besteht.

NEWS You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
