As we grant AI more access to our everyday lives, will it enable incredible innovation or cause serious harm to humanity? This week’s ‘Legal Bytes with the LRC’ will tackle the trending topic. Follow ➡️ instagram.com/lrcsouthafrica/
Some students in the Eastern Cape face a gruelling and often dangerous 2-hour journey to access their basic right to an education. A potentially game-changing case filed in the High Court in Makhanda by the LRC hopes to resolve this injustice.

YouTube must do better! Our recent investigation with @Global_Witness reveals that YouTube is approving ads with disinformation which can fuel chaos as India goes to the polls. #IndiaElections2024 accessnow.org/press-release/…
🚨Earlier today, 11 civil society organisations wrote to the @ECISVEEP, expressing their collective concerns over the integrity of the #Elections2024 & urging them to uphold the principles of free & fair elections against the many challenges it faces. 1/7 internetfreedom.in/civil-society-…
A loophole in Meta's policies on advertiser disclaimer is allowing an infestation of surrogate advertisements on its platforms. Surrogate ads targeting BJP opponents now dominate FB's political ads. boomlive.in/news/bjp-congr…
THREAD : Investigating the ruling party BJP's propaganda factory. A network of 23 websites hosted on same IP Address & linked facebook pages working as pseudo-entities pushing propaganda Ads by spending crores of money on Facebook, attacking non-BJP parties & leaders. +
Read the English version of the detailed article. altnews.in/meta-allowed-a…
In response to our inquiries, a Meta spokesperson informed us that they reviewed the content flagged by Alt News found it to be in violation of Meta’s standards, and took action accordingly. Now these contents have been removed by Meta. +
In an email to Meta, we inquired why their moderation system failed in this case. Furthermore, we asked them how they plan to thwart attempts to weaponize their platforms during this election season and what actions would be taken against pages violating Meta platform rules. +
It is pertinent for platforms like Meta to show their commitment towards ensuring a responsible and safe online space by taking prompt action against content that violates their community standards. +
exemplifying their failure during this sensitive, high-stakes election period. Meta's negligence in enforcing its policies reaffirms the importance of accountability by platforms. As elections approach, the role of digital governance is becoming increasingly important. +

Kristen Abrahams of @LRCSouthAfrica re: trusted flagger program: It's not really working just because of the volume of the content. I can’t imagine that any external fact-checking organization will have sufficient capacity to detect and stop the spread of harmful content
It's merely delegating platform duties to civil society.
