#heiseshow: TikTok age restrictions, e-scooters, 5G broadcasting

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:

• Digital age barrier: Will you be able to access TikTok with ID only in the future? – The Federal Drug Commissioner is calling for a technical age limit for TikTok. How can such age verification be implemented technically? What impact will this have on young people’s use of social media? And does a national solution even make sense in a global network?

• Crazy: Are e-scooters on the right track? – Despite criticism, e-scooter providers see growth potential. How can the problems of illegally parked scooters and careless drivers be solved? What role do electric stand-up scooters play in future urban mobility? And what about the environmental balance of vehicles?

• 5G broadcasting: Why is television still so important? – Qualcomm wants to bring 5G broadcasting to Europe. What advantages does this technology offer compared to traditional streaming? How might 5G broadcasting change television? And is there still a need for linear TV in the era of Netflix & Co.?
