 * Is there any way to force a widget that the user cannot remove?
 * I need to add some stuff in the sidebar…

 * If they’re all using the same theme, hard code it into there.

 * they are using different themes almost all of them.
 * is there any other way of adding content to the sidebar?
 * filters/hooks and others?

 * Not… really.
 * See, the header and footer, you can totally hook into with a mu-plugin (see [http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/how-to-hook-into-the-footer/](http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/how-to-hook-into-the-footer/)
   for an idea). But Sidebars, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, are different per-theme.
   So you’re stuck editing the theme’s core files to put YOUR widget hard coded 
   into each theme.

 * There’s no hooks for sidebars – not for multisite or single site. Like Ipstenu
   said – this is front side and every theme is different.
