Surveillance is so taken for granted today that films & TV series make a virtue out of it, governments blatantly misuse it, and people ignore the dangers.

With El Niño sharpening climate disinformation, it is time to invest in community media – to build trust, see communities as knowledge holders, focus on local realities.

Supporting these voices isn’t optional. It is climate action.

Talk about AI is everywhere – with little, if any, convergence between industry and civil society. As long as the silos endure, risks to society and community will as well.

Tech regulation isn't a question of "if" anymore, but "how”. Big Tech has prioritized engagement and ad dollars over people for too long. But we need safe, inclusive, and democratic social media. More in the last #waccComment: bit.ly/Comment-9Feb26

A group of children hunched over cell phones huddles under an umbrella that shields them from pouring rain with various social media icons such as like and love. A man resembling Elon Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with the X logo glares menacingly at the main holding the umbrella. The scene is dark and foreboding.

⛏️🌐Extraction powers digital today, capturing data, attention, water, economies, rights – and monetizing them. We need just tech governance to move from extractivism to equitable digital.

The internet is a digital lifeline for much of the world. Last year there were 105+ internet shutdowns. This is censorship & it subverts democracy. Tech governance must outlaw such denial of #CommunicationRights.

In the face of genocide, there is no place for silence. While politicians dither, corporate hucksters profit & many stay silent, the slaughter in #Gaza goes on. Tragically, everyone’s hands are now permanently stained.

When it comes to AI regulation, it’s the wild west out there. But the stakes couldn’t be higher — governments protecting netizens or corporations chasing power and profit?
