1. #TwitterFiles Extra: How the World's "No-Kidding Decision Makers" and the "Anti-Disinformation" Field Got Organized

3. 360/OS is a convening of “no-kidding decision maker level” elites, as DFRLab Director Graham Brookie put it, highlighting the Head of Davos, Madeleine Albright and more, as he sought to secure 150k from Twitter and Jack Dorsey’s attendance.

Sally Lehrman shared details about the incredible work that @_trustproject does to promote transparency. Then Jason Lambert shared how news media can use advertising to grow, this is helpful especially for improving reliable and trustworthy local media.
Local news in Ukraine was under threat but @morelliana from @MediaGFMD stepped in to provide assistance. By working together with Facebook, Twitter and more platforms their team provided help to protect independent voices.
Team TrollBusters was at the session 'Keeping your reputation safe when under attack' at @rightscon. Journalists from around the world discussed reputation management after disinformation attacks. Find highlights from the discussion below: #RightsCon #RightsCon2022 @accessnow @UN
Last October a report was presented to the @UN about gendered abuse that women face online. The jist: while social media is an amazing tool - women journalists, politicans, activists, etc. come under attack from an anonymous mob online.
Political journalist @ivabelle_a from Mexico shared the problems that women reporters face while working in locations where organized crime is rampant. Even covering issues that are not related to violence brings them under attack.
Team TrollBusters was at the session 'Our social network: intersectional feminist tech advocacy for journalist safety' at #RightsCon #RightsCon2022 with @rightscon @accessnow. We explored this deeply in this story: yoursosteam.wordpress.com/inclusive-tech… Find highlights from the session below:
This panel discussed issues related to online safety such as dealing with reporting backlash, the loneliness that women media professionals feel, etc. In separate breakout rooms participants were encouraged to share their own frustrations with navigating digital spaces.
The first topic was reporting online abuse to digital platforms. The participants shared that they have reported some of the abuse they experienced or observed on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram.
Team TrollBusters was at #RightsCon to attend the session 'Pegasus’ reach: the impact on journalists’ inner circles and press freedom' hosted by @pressfreedom. We explored this safety concern in this story: yoursosteam.wordpress.com/pegasus-phone-… Find some important points from the session here:
Pegasus software was allegedly only sold to governments to fight crimes. But then journalists were targeted with this spyware, making it difficult for them to communicate with sources and share important stories.
In El Salvador, at least 13 journalists were targeted. Information was stolen, along with the pictures of the journalists and their families. Hackers were very interested in the personal lives of the reporters and wanted to intimidate them.
Our #RightsCon session, co-hosted with @DisinfoEU, will be taking place on the 10th of June 2021.
We'll be looking at the intersection of gender and disinformation, and how it relates to women in all spheres of life, across a wide range of experiences.

Thrilled to be in Tunis for @rightscon! My events are on Friday and I‘m looking forward to running into many friends before that! Snuck a visit to Carthage ruins. Pervasive surveillance delande est. Unaccountable use of artificial intelligence delande est. #RightsCon 🤷♀️
Ahaha lack of edit button delanda est! And that phrase is practically the limit of my knowledge of Latin anyway, so I can’t claim that it was either the heat or the tiny phone keyboard at fault. 🤷♀️😬🤷♀️😬
At @Rightscon, I hear evolving and complex conversations among the community over time but feels to me that big tech has same framework, year-to-year: “We hear your concerns. We’re working on these difficult issues. Thank you for your feedback.” Do other #RightsCon folk disagree?
When your posts get taken down or your accounts get suspended, who will have your back—and who will leave you in the dark?

First, the high scores. Only @reddit earned stars in every category, and @Apple and @github earned stars in five out of six categories.
If they can achieve this level of transparency and accountability, it’s reasonable to expect other companies to also meet that standard.

Of the 16 companies we assess, twelve publicly endorse the Santa Clara Principles on Transparency and Accountability in Content Moderation, indicating increasing industry buy-in to important standards of transparency, notice, and appeals. santaclaraprinciples.org
I was just at #rightscon and I observed a few major takeaways on securing queer/trans dating apps, especially in oppressive countries. It seems to me there are 3 main issues:
1. revenge porn -- this is way more prevalent than you might think, and is extremely difficult to combat
2. extortion -- people find you on grindr or whatever, and threaten to tell your family/friends/boss/law enforcement
