.@KanchanGupta: #BigTech is now playing an interventionist role in democracy, #RedTech is being used for #surveillance and subversion, while #DeepTech is about criminality.

#Raisina2022

Anne Neuberger: In the ongoing #Ukrainewar, #socialmedia companies wanted to control the #information imbalance but that has caused public resentment over the lack of #transparency and access to complete information.

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@zapalak: In #Bangladesh, we believe in #democracy, but we also want to protect our #cyberspace by teaching our citizens about #digital literacy so that they can filter out fake news and understand privacy and rights

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@zapalak: We need to replicate initiatives from the #EU, and create similar frameworks and mechanisms for our region and #AsiaPacific for data protection

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@NiNanjira: We have seen even democratic #tech being used for #surveillance. Securitisation of issues has created demands for surveillance which are being fulfilled by #BigTech and Deep Tech

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

Vivek Lall: With faster connectivity becoming a reality in the next decade, we need #regulations to catch up with technological developments

#Raisina2022

.@zapalak: We need to replicate initiatives from the #EU, and create similar frameworks and mechanisms for our region and #AsiaPacific for data protection

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@Rajeev_GoI: Previously, #tech and #socialmedia platforms were treated as symbols of innovation and therefore, they were regulated lightly. However, this condition cannot persist for long and there needs to be greater #regulation of these platforms

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@Rajeev_GoI: User harm and #cybercrimes are being committed across borders, and that is creating the perception of #cyberspace as a lawless sphere

#Rasina2022 #ORFCyber

Anne Neuberger: US government’s conversations with #SiliconValley #tech companies about free speech, regulations, accountability and encryption have been difficult

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

Anne Neuberger: #Socialmedia has a positive connect globally, but it also has risks - disinformation for instance as was seen during the #Covid19 pandemic

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@KanchanGupta: Politics is now embedded in #technology

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

Vivek Lall: Solutions need to be devised across political, academic/think tanks and commercial spectrums to tackle the challenges posed by #technology

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@zapalak: Only by coming together, this region can protect its citizens, economy and #cyberspace from the perils of #technology. This is the time to collaborate, not compete

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@NiNanjira: Even as we talk about shared values when it comes to regulations, we have different conceptions. #Tech development doesn’t happen in the vacuum

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@zapalak: We need to create an international council for emerging/frontier technologies and the United Nations needs to take a lead to create #digital global governance

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@Rajeev_GoI: Despite #ElonMusk’s takeover of #Twitter, guidelines governing #socialmedia platforms remain the same. Social media need to go beyond mere criminality and also expand focus on user harm when it comes to #regulations

#Raisina2022 @orfgeotech

.@Rajeev_GoI: Algorithmic biases exist and therefore, we need to create a mechanism to ensure accountability on algorithmic coding.
