In the middle of 1995, I got involved with civil rights issues on the net on a rather personal level: Scientology raided my provider, XS4all, over a homepage that one of their other customers had put on-line. That raid brought about a whole cascade of questions: are homepages the responsibility of their makers, or of those through which systems they are served? Are internet providers to be regarded as publishers, or as common carriers? Is a complaint enough on the net to make a provider pull a page? How does censorship on the net work?

I like to share knowledge, which is why I am not limited just to speaking, but also am interested in workshops / expert tables and moderation. Additionally I have become a frequent advisor for organizers of conferences as well as am involved in several barcamps.

One of my favourite topics is how to grow your business internationally, both from the side of for example the US coming to Europe as vice versa, but I am also happy to 'just' transport what is so special about the net and web 2.0.
