Shout out to Lina Khan's FTC and the amazing work they have been doing, summarized in this post. This what a functioning regulatory body looks like & what we should continue to hold as expectations even in the face of pressure to normalize anything less. www.ftc.gov/policy/advoc...

UK Govt to make creating & sharing sexually explicit #deepfake images a criminal offense, explaining "the proliferation of these hyper-realistic images has grown at an alarming rate, causing devastating harm to victims, particularly women and girls who are often the target” bsky.app/profile/matt...

I've spent the past year interviewing Hannah Byrne, a former Counterterrorism policy manager at Meta who quit the company after coming to believe she helping build a racial profiling censorship machine. She shares her story today for the first time. theintercept.com/2024/12/04/m...

We can’t talk about the future of tech and digital space without talking about the impact on other issues and rights. Decision makers must take a holistic approach to development to ensure advancement does not come at the cost of human rights, and the climate.

💻Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (#TFGBV) and other forms of online abuse cannot be overlooked or sidelined during #16DaysofActivism.

"I'm encouraged by the energy of the #WomensRights movement, and the digital space is no different. If we're going to achieve what we can achieve with the #GDC, if we're going to make the progress we can make, we need to do it together." - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF

"The same urgency people have when they are demanding their rights to water or food is the urgency we need to see when it comes to people demanding their #DigitalRights". Hallima Nyota. Linda Data Kenya #AfIGF #GDC

"Gender is not properly mainstreamed in the #GDC. We see the word, there is reference to #TFGBV, there is reference to #GenderEquality, and the #DigitalDivide, but its is not embedded throughout the document. And there is a lack of mechanisms to counter #GBV." - Amanda Manyame, Equality Now. #AfIGF

"We can't ignore the issue of #DigitalAccess. How will people understand the digital space, how will they recognise #TFGBV or #misinformation, if they don't have experiece in the space?" - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF

"If we're going to implement the #GDC and have impact, it's important that stakeholders understand the GDC and the tools that they are working with, and this includes communities." - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF

"Young women stepping into leadership positions find themselves facing multiple digital challenges, such as doxxing, #deepfakes and #TFGBV. We need to look at ensuring online protections are ensured and implemented". Hallima Nyota, Linda Data Kenya. #AfIGF #GDC
