Session: How does digital advocacy contribute to changing the policies of technology companies?

17 May 2022

18:00 - 18:55

Social media users, notably those who belong to minorities and marginalised communities, are subject to digital discriminatory policies, which affects the results of the investigations into human rights violations that they publish via online media applications. Therefore, we will discuss in this session how the repressive policies of social media companies affect the content and narratives of people in Palestine, Colombia and Kashmir. We will also discuss how digital rights advocates in these countries view the impact of digital solidarity campaigns and international media coverage on the policies of technology companies. This session will highlight many factors that contribute to increasing the influence of coordinating the work of solidarity movements and digital rights institutions to change social media policies that discriminate against the colonized people.
