A US court has ruled that the addictive-by-design nature of Meta and YouTube harmed a young woman and worsened their mental health.

In response @ErikaGuevaraR said, “this court decision is clear: these platforms are unsafe by design and meaningful change is urgently needed.”

We can’t let this continue. We need more radical solutions.

If you can, I definitely watch Inside the Rage Machine on BBC Two (available on iPlayer)

[Hannah Storey @Hannah_e_Storey]

It has been a big week for documentaries exposing the harms of social media algorithms - Molly vs the Machines, Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere, and now Inside the Rage Machine reveals leaked internal documents - pulling back the curtain on how these systems really work.

Children and young people - and honestly, all of us - shouldn’t keep paying the price for platforms built on surveillance, outrage, and harm.

🚨NEWS: @EU_Commission's so-called “digital omnibus” proposals will tear apart accountability on digital rights. It will lead to a weakening of people’s rights and expose them to digital oppression.

The Kenyan government must stop tech-facilitated violence, troll campaigns & smear narratives that vilify critics as “paid activists” or “foreign agents” & instead investigate enforced disappearances, unlawful killings & surveillance of Gen Z protesters.

Five Big Tech companies basically control the internet!

We need to rein them in if we really want an online world that respects our rights

Hear more in our video explainer below!

[Amnesty Tech @AmnestyTech]

Five big technology companies wield enormous control over our online lives.

They have become so embedded in our daily lives that meaningful participation in society depends on using their services.

@Amnesty's @Hannah_e_Storey explains how their power threatens our rights.

[Hannah Storey @Hannah_e_Storey]

@AmnestyTech Without addressing market power, we can't truly address the harms of Big tech!

[Hannah Storey @Hannah_e_Storey]

Very proud to been a part of this launch today!
