🔥 LAST TALK on #BreadandNet 2021!

What are the implications of the #Facebook Papers for Arabic-speaking users, especially in light of the company's failure to adequately moderate #Arabic language content?

a very timely discussion with @Bissan_Fakih @DiaKayyali and @marwasf!
@Bissan_Fakih @DiaKayyali @marwasf "The #Facebook leaks reveal that it's the worst case scenario for Arabic speakers, although Arabic is a widely spoken language on the platform." @DiaKayyali
"There's bad moderation for a lot of users. At the same time, they're doing a horrible job at training their machine learning systems. These machine learning algorithms want to please Facebook, and they will act as they're trained." Dia

🛡️Was our data safe?🛡️

A legal and technical investigation into the safety and security of Lebanon's Covid-response apps by @SMEX members @LucieDoumanian @kataya_abd
@Lqassem @0x7D6E6867 and @lqassem!

⏰ Today at 12:30 PM Beirut time, Room 1 - stage

#BreadandNet
Through the #Watchdog project, we analyzed numerous applications in Lebanon and abroad to ensure their safety and security. Our aim was to push private companies to protect people’s data. @kataya_abd
For example, when pharmaceuticals company Pharmaline assisted in securing #SputnikV vaccines in Lebanon, we found that people were asked to sign a consent form to use their data for commercial purposes at a later time.

😍Our very own #BreadandNet coordinator @q_moses joins @nikkigladstone from @RightsCon, @sarahtallen from @mozillafestival, and Trinh Nguyen from Team CommUNITY to discuss the opportunities and challenges in hosting an online digital rights event.

👏Power in Convening👏
@q_moses @nikkigladstone @rightscon @sarahtallen @mozillafestival "The biggest challenge to bringing @RightsCon online was how to organize and arrange sessions, how people would access and attend the event in a safe and comfortable environment. " - Nikki
@q_moses @nikkigladstone @rightscon @sarahtallen @mozillafestival We call @BreadandNet an unconference because although yes, we do want to host sessions, what we really care about is the community. During the physical #BreadandNet events in Beirut, you would always see people gathering, connecting, and creating space for collaborations." Moussa

"يؤثر على #المحتوى_الفلسطيني عدد من العوامل، يمكن اختصارها بما يلي: 1- الجهة الرسمية الإسرائيلية، 2- الجهات شبه الرسمية الإسرائيلية، 3- ومنصات التواصل الاجتماعي نفسها وسياساتها، لا سيما #فيسبوك" - @NadimNashif
"تتحول السلطة إلى سلطة بوليسية بالتزامن مع الحراكات التي يشهدها الشارع، حيث شهدنا على مجموعة انتهاكات للمعارضين السياسيين على خلفية كتاباتهم على #فيسبوك وصولاً إلى مقتل الناشط #نزار_بنات على أيدي الأمن الفلسطيني. وكل هذا تبعه انتهاكات مختلفة بحق الصحافيين" - محمود الافرنجي

#COVID19 vaccine “passports": a new frontier threatening human rights

with @marwasf @GhinwaHayek @veroluiza

#BreadandNet
@marwasf @GhinwaHayek @veroluiza "The issue in the MENA region is that there is unequal access to vaccines." @veroluiza
@veroluiza : In countries where vaccines are mandatory, making digital "vaccine documents" mandatory will leave out many people who do not have access to technology. Many people are denied access to certain social services as a result.

- state involvement in content moderation
- integrity

Let's dive in👇

❓How many content moderators are responding to Arabic content?

📍The Middle East and North Africa region is treated as one area although countries in MENA differ widely!

“Who are tech companies accountable to?

They don’t have accountability to the ID holder, but to their client: the government.”
Jenna Harb:

What are the gaps in data collection in Lebanon?

refugee data is difficult to collect leading to exclusion:
