On March 16, the Global Network Initiative (GNI) hosted a virtual, invitation-only roundtable discussion on the private sector’s role in countering misuse of technology around the world. The roundtable convened representatives from across the tech industry, as well as other key stakeholders, to discuss present approaches and future commitments to avoid and mitigate human rights harms that result from the misuse of their products and services.
