Today I had the honor of being named one of @FastCompany's Most Creative People in Business for 2022 for work I have done with @CounteringCrime to hold #socialmedia accountable for hosting (and profiting off) harmful organized crime on their platforms. 🧵 fastcompany.com/90762165/gretc…
Finally I can reveal what I’ve been working on since leaving Vice earlier this year...🧵 1/12
What the Hack this week speaks to Dick Gephardt about #Section230, mirroring what I said last week on the same show, that it urgently needs to be reformed. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dic…

Not to be missed if you're concerned at all about online crime.
I had a great discussion with @Adam_K_Levin on #whatthehack about the need to reform #CDA230 to define the difference between illicit conduct & free expression. Have a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gre…
@CounteringCrime Executive Director @GretchenSPeters recently appeared on the "What the Hack" podcast with @Adam_K_Levin Check this out re: how ACCO came to be and what we're doing to aid the global fight against online and transnational organised crime. adamlevin.com/2024/10/22/gre…
A year on from the #OnlineSafetyAct, new @mollyroseorg polling shows overwhelming support from adults & parents for strengthened legislation that overcomes Ofcom’s risk averse approach to tackling preventable harm mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Great What the Hack episode by @Adam_K_Levin I ❤️ how it starts: Imagine some creepy stranger asks you to share every detail of your child's life, when they 😴, what they ❤️, what they fear. Well you do & those creeps are Zuck, Spiegel & Mosseri. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sen…
Important deep-dive from two leading youth activists writing for @techpolicypress; @isabelhjs and Willa Blake dig into @NewMexicoDOJ's lawsuit against Snap and what the unsealed complaint reveals techpolicy.press/snap-inc-under…
NEW: More than a dozen states are suing TikTok alleging it knowingly deployed addictive features that hook and harm children on the platform, deepening its legal perils as it tries to stave off a federal ban
Focused deterrence works. @DavidKennedyNYC
1.2% of people are responsible for over 50% of recorded family and domestic violence offences. Imagine the impact we could have on DFV rates if we focused our efforts on that group. theguardian.com/society/2024/s…
Adam Mosseri, head of @instagram, acknowledges that putting safety first will be bad for business, effectively admitting that @Meta put profits over child safety for years. @accountabletech @techpolicypress @FBoversight @mike_salter wsj.com/tech/personal-…
Great thread here on the Taliban/AFG - @GretchenSPeters knows👇🏼
Solid reporting by @smithkabul @CrisisGroup about #Taliban's efforts to stamp out poppy production. Like many such reports, it focuses largely on poppy farmers & the harsh implications for millions of rural Afghans since their livelihood was banned. 1/ crisisgroup.org/asia/south-asi…
How ironic that @Meta decides to implement basic safeguards during a @EU_Commission inquiry and a markup of the #kidsonlinesafetyact in the House. We see your BS @finkd @nickclegg!! nytimes.com/2024/09/17/tec…
I wrote a book chapter on the cynical appropriation of social justice rhetoric by the tech sector, who claim that regulation is to the detriment of a myriad of vulnerable communities - sex workers, LGBTIQ people, child abuse victims. academia.edu/resource/work/…
Meta is pleased to announce that they are done pretending, and are going to unapologetically exploit you even further, with thanks to your governments’ inaction.
We’re pleased to announce that, after taking onboard regulatory feedback, we will begin training our AI at Meta models using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram in the UK and Brazil.
Appalling decision. Facebook and Instagram are awash with harmful content, which will now get baked in to Meta’s AI products. History repeats and replicates, seemingly with regulatory consent
