No zoom at the University of Hildesheim

By signing this petition, I ask the President, the lecturers and the computer centre of the University of Hildesheim

• To remove the web conference system "Zoom" from lists of usable or recommendable software on the university's web pages.
• To inform the lecturers of the University of Hildesheim that Zoom is generally not suitable software for web conferences.
• To inform the lecturers of the University of Hildesheim that it is strongly advised not to use Zoom in teaching.
• To educate lecturers and students alike, not only now and in the coming weeks and months, that the choice of tools used for communication has far-reaching implications for participation opportunities. Therefore, particular care must be taken in deciding which technologies to use.
• That the university is counteracting the technological inability and influence of covertly operating companies, such as Facebook and Google, by placing greater emphasis on technological training and understanding.
