(8/9) The #EU has made a start, with the #DSA. It must now be bold and compel platforms to de-risk their design, detox their algorithms and give users real control.

(7/9) We urge #BigTech to end tech discrimination and treat people everywhere equally through rigorous human rights risk assessments, transparency and accountability.

(6/9) Endorsed by 10 other Nobel laureates & 80 experts & civil society groups the plan calls for an end to the surveillance-for-profit business model.

(5/9) Radical action is needed to detoxify the dominant online platforms and reclaim a democratic vision of the internet for the 21st century.

228

(4/9) The invisible ‘editors’ of today’s information ecosystem are the opaque algorithms that tech companies use to track and target us. They deliberately amplify misogyny, racism, hate, junk science & disinformation to maximize “engagement”.

264

(3/9) This is an existential threat to democracy & peace. For facts to stand a chance, we must end the amplification of disinformation by tech platforms and invest in journalism as the antidote to tyranny.

(2/9) The huge potential of technology to advance our societies has been hijacked by #BigTech and a business model that deliberately promotes hate & hate & lies for profit.

(1/9) Today, my fellow Nobel laureate #dmitrymuratov and I are proud to launch an action plan to tackle the information crisis unleashed by Big Tech & rebuild independent journalism. Here’s why:

Lessons in courage & personal responsibility for defending democracy & facts from

Fact-checking innovation

@rapplerdotcom

style: 1) Fact-checking 2) mesh efforts & organisations fighting disinformation 3) Research 4) challenge & document. This triggered a legal challenge brought by the 🇵🇭 government seeking to restrain fact-checking

“If we don’t do something now, democracy we will fall off a cliff in 2024 - democracy will die” -

sounds the alarm for journalists & civil society organisations in the face of rising fascism.

“A kind of media Noah’s Ark” is how Muratov describes his envisioned “Media in Exile” foundation, to serve and protect exiled journalists & news outlets from all around the world when they are forced to seek refuge from persecution outside their own countries.

Recognising the increasing threats faced by independent public interest media globally, including his own Novaya Gazeta which has been forced to close in Russia, Muratov calls for the establishment of a new international organisation: “Media in Exile”

Addressing

’s Freedom of Expression conference from Moscow, Nobel Peace Price Laureate Dimitry Muratov explains that as the Russian Government bans the use of the word “war” to describe the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he will call it “Hell” nobelpeacecenter.org/en/events/free

Tim Davie, Director General of the BBC, is by many accounts of those inside the BBC, a good manager. But he is not a journalist. And that makes all the difference. He only needed five words "we stand by our story". Margin calls might seem thin, but are critical

Emily Maitlis explicit that BBC “impartiality” is now decided by an ex No10 Tory spin doctor, Robbie Gibb. How that’s not an arrant conflict of interest at the heart of the BBC is anyone’s guess.
