Dr. Volker Zotta, editor-in-chief of Heise-Online (@DocZet), Marcus Will and Malte Kirchner (@maltekir) talk about the following topics in this edition of #heiseshow:

• Open options: 20 years of OpenStreetMap – OpenStreetMap is celebrating its 20th anniversary as an open cartography platform. How has the project evolved over time? Can OpenStreetMap compete with commercial providers such as Google Maps? What is the importance of the open source philosophy for the future of digital cartography?

• Long line: Only a quarter of the fiber optic funds have been paid – The disbursement of funds for fiber optic expansion in Germany is going slowly. Why has only 25 percent of the funds been paid so far? What are the obstacles to broadband expansion? How can the process be accelerated to improve the digital infrastructure?

• Sweet deal: Google, Meta and young people – A secret deal between Google and Meta is said to be aimed at attracting young users. What are the details of this deal? What ethical questions does this strategy raise? How can young people be better protected from manipulative activities on social media?
