AfD on digital affairs

The AfD wants schools to have modern digital equipment but to use digital technology in class only from fourth grade. It argues that using it too early harms children's motor and cognitive skills.

Schools should get modern digital devices. But children should use them only from grade 4. The AfD says using them too early harms development. Technicians should look after the devices, not teachers.

In the AfD's view, digital media should supplement teaching but not replace it. Technical staff or outside service providers would set up and maintain the equipment. This is meant to relieve teachers.

The AfD wants citizens to be able to deal with government offices and everyday life without digital services, especially older people. Digital surveillance would be tightly limited and cash would be kept.

Nobody should have to do everything by computer or phone. The AfD says this matters most for old people. The state should watch citizens very little. People should still be able to pay with cash.

Digital surveillance would be allowed only as far as fighting crime and terrorism strictly requires. Legal and institutional guarantees would prevent surveillance without cause, especially in dealings with public authorities. The AfD wants to stop the digital euro from becoming the only means of payment for public services in Saxony; cash deposits and withdrawals would remain possible. Digital medical records would be shared only among doctors and not passed to health insurers or drug companies without consent.
