“Rather than learning from its reckless contributions to mass violence in countries including Myanmar and Ethiopia, Meta is instead stripping away important protections that were aimed at preventing any recurrence of such harms.” Maung Sawyeddollah 🇲🇲 and I for Tech Policy Press today👇

Today @Amnesty & the DSA Civil Society Coordination Group published its analysis of the Risk Assessments Reports under the EU Digital Services Act (#DSA). It focuses on the reports of Google (Search & YouTube), Meta (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, and X.

Kenyan youth love TikTok—but many say it’s addictive and full of harmful content. Their stories show why we need change. Let’s #FixTikTok and make it safer for everyone.

🚨 NEW POLL: roughly TWICE as many people in France, Germany and Spain want the EU to break up Big Tech giants, as those who don't. European Commission will soon decide whether to dismantle Google's toxic adtech monopoly. Will it listen to EU citizens? peoplevsbig.tech/large-majority…

🚨A year after the racist violence that followed the murder of three young girls in Southport Amnesty International has found that social media platform X played a key role in spreading false narratives & harmful content, contributing to racist violence targeting Muslims & migrants in the UK.

🚨 Today we have launched the ‘Breaking up with Big Tech’ briefing which calls on governments to rein in the power of big technology companies in order to protect human rights. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Five big technology companies wield enormous control over our online lives. They have become so embedded in our daily lives that meaningful participation in society depends on using their services. @Amnesty's Hannah Storey explains how their power threatens our rights.

🚨Our new report shows how social media platform X contributed to spreading targeted hate against #LGBTI people in Poland. X failed to adequately address content constituting technology facilitated gender-based violence (TfGBV).

X has contributed to the spread of targeted hate against LGBTI people in Poland. Its business model, underinvestment in language moderation & removal of safeguards against harmful speech made X a breeding ground for tech-facilitated gender-based violence. It must change.

Have you ever wondered why certain posts or ads show up on your “For You” feed on X? It’s not random. It is driven by a powerful algorithm that contributes to the spread of hatred towards LGBTI people. amnesty.org/en/latest/news… Here is how.

🚨 The decision by Microsoft to block a unit of Israel’s military from accessing its surveillance technology is a strong signal to all companies that they too must confront their participation in the political economy sustaining Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
