Apple filed 267 child abuse reports in 2023. Google filed 1.47 million. Internal documents show both companies' employees warned that encryption would reduce their ability to detect child exploitation, but they proceeded anyway. Now courts in three states are testing whether "privacy-first" policies constitute willful blindness to harm.

Meta CEO Zuckerberg testified in the first jury trial among 1,600 consolidated cases alleging social platforms designed products to addict children. Internal emails showed the company paid for an expert panel on child safety, then ignored their recommendations. TikTok and Snap settled before trial began. The case uses product liability law rather than challenging Section 230 protections directly. #TechAccountability #ChildSafety #Meta

When the Trumpist project collapses, we will remember.

Not just the demagogues — but the techno-feudal elites who could have defended democracy and chose profit, access, and cowardice instead.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Peter Murdoch, “Sucker”berg, Cook…They could have been on the right side of history, buy they chose not to be.

Banning visas for non-compliant US tech execs under #DSA isn’t about free speech—it’s about enforcing EU rules on transparency and illegal content.

Accountability ≠ censorship.

Predictive technology including algorithms and AI is quietly replacing human judgement in under resourced public services such as policing. In Spain these systems are used to assess the safety needs of women fleeing domestic violence. Too often they get it wrong. When automated risk scores replace lived experience and professional care the consequences are not abstract. They are real and sometimes fatal. This video is a stark reminder that technology without accountability can deepen harm rather than prevent it.
