Big tech’s attempts to weaken information space regulations worldwide exposed by new cross-country investigation supported by RSF In Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia and Australia and beyond, tech giants like Google and Meta have deployed aggressive lobbying strategies to derail or weaken legislation aimed at regulating digital platforms — often through opaque influence networks and disinformation campaigns. The biggest casualty? The public’s right to reliable information. A new investigation, “Big Tech’s Invisible Hand”, exposes the tactics of these corporations in over 20 articles published between 9 and 24 September by a global consortium of 17 media outlets across 13 countries. Led by Brazilian media Agência Pública and the Latin American Center for Investigative Journalism (CLIP), with the help of Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the project reveals the worldwide efforts to rewrite or block legislation intended to protect user data, children, and journalism itself. https://rsf.org/en/big-tech-s-attempts-weaken-information-space-regulations-worldwide-exposed-new-cross-country
