News Lead: The traffic light coalition and the Union have agreed on a set of proposals for the implementation of the WEB (World Wide Web) in Germany. The plans include measures to expand broadband infrastructure, promote digital literacy, and strengthen data protection. The proposals are expected to be voted on in the Bundestag in the coming months.
The traffic light coalition is made up of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Free Democratic Party (FDP), and the Greens. The Union is made up of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU).
The WEB is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.
The expansion of broadband infrastructure is a key part of the plans. The government aims to provide all citizens with access to high-speed internet by 2025. The plans also include measures to promote digital literacy, such as providing training courses and developing educational materials.
The strengthening of data protection is another important aspect of the plans. The government aims to ensure that citizens' personal data is protected from misuse. The plans include measures to regulate the collection and use of data, and to give citizens more control over their own data.
