4/ My colleague @AmosToh pulled together a brilliant thread on @HRW 's work on poverty, inequality & tech and some tough questions/challenges we face in our approach to partnerships, power imbalances and more https://twitter.com/AmosToh/status/1379230665586147329

5/ A few more tough questions @HRWTech is looking to tackle: how do we de-center US/Western European perspectives & ensure that our work on tech & human rights is truly global. A few initial thoughts below wrt big tech, but the question is much broader https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/09/08/big-techs-heavy-hand-around-globe

6/ How do we push for accountability for abusive platforms w/o limiting our imaginations to what exists today? To put it another way, can we dismantle abusive business models & build digital public infrastructure that supports human rights?
