A global repository that consolidates information on tech transparency initiatives, transparency disclosures, key stakeholders, government regulations, upcoming events, and contributions from civil society, companies, and governments.
GNI working with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) developed a tool to help actors working across the technology ecosystem identify and address high level human rights issues and due diligence “questions”.
The CLFR is a detailed set of resources examining governments’ legal authorities to intercept communications, obtain access to communications data, or restrict the content of communications in more than 50 countries.
The brief offers practical guidance for governments and other stakeholders on how to formulate and implement content regulations that are effective, fit-for-purpose, and enhance and protect the rights to freedom of expression and privacy.
GNI and Global Partners Digital (GPD) have launched a new guide to support civil society organisations in engaging with the tech sector around issues affecting human rights.
The report reflects on the “debilitating and far-reaching” impacts of disruptions, including lack of access to important public health information during the pandemic, being kept in the dark about results during an election, economic impacts felt by broad swathes of society, limits on employment and educational opportunities, and lack of access to digital finance.
Authored by former GNI Google policy fellow, Jan Rydzak, the report identifies over 100 instances of deliberate network disruption around the world in 2017. The report presents a wealth of data relevant to both researchers and activists and encourages them to engage more broadly with different stakeholders.
The document contains a set of recommendations aimed at governments and companies who want to protect and respect free expression and privacy rights when they respond to alleged extremist or terrorist content online.
The report, which was prepared by Deloitte and made possible by funding from GNI member Facebook, lays out a framework for measuring the costs of shutdowns in terms of the daily gross domestic product lost in countries with varying levels of Internet connectivity.
This report outlines key principles and specific reforms to drive a human rights-based approach to the Mutual Legal Assistance regime—which consists of hundreds of bilateral and multilateral treaties that regulate government-to-government requests for user data— for the twenty-first century.
