#Microsoft still hasn't published the findings of a review on how mass surveillance and targeting of people in #Palestine by #Israel are based on Microsoft #Azure cloud services.
A follow-up open letter by @7amleh, #AccessNow, #AmnestyInternational, @eff and @fight:
»We were made aware that the law firm retained by #Microsoft has already completed its review. Yet, Microsoft has neither released its findings as publicly promised nor responded to our earlier inquiries regarding the steps it has taken — or intends to take — to halt and prevent its contribution to international law violations perpetrated by the Israeli government and its military in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).«

Zambia canceled RightsCon days before launch, citing national values, amid reports of pressure over Taiwanese participation and foreign influence. 🌍
The move raises concerns over civil society space, free expression, and digital rights under growing state and geopolitical pressure. 🔐#TechNews #RightsCon #Zambia #DigitalRights #AccessNow #HumanRights #Cybersecurity #Privacy #Surveillance #FOSS #Freedom #Censorship #Internet #Policy #Tech #Politics #China #Taiwan

Interventionism doesn't necessarily mean military action. Sometimes it can be a vassal state situation, whereby the true holder of power gets to veto the peoples rights to organize and congregate.
That #Taiwanese were in attendance means nothing. The fact that a foreign nation state actor got to decide how #Zambian people congregate means everything.
Advocacy group #AccessNow says major human rights conference was canceled after Chinese pressure on #Zambia

#AccessNow has now publicly confirmed that they also believe the Chinese government pressured #Zambia into censoring #RightsCon 2026 because of participants from #Taiwan.
The statement of what happened is a testament of how strong the influence of authoritarians has become and how the global #DigitalRights community is a target.

Die Digital- und Menschenrechte Konferenz #RightsCon bringt jedes Jahr an wechselnden Orten tausende Menschen aus der ganzen Welt zusammen,. Dieses Jahr sollte Sambia dran sein. Doch die Regierung dort hat die Konferenz jetzt wenige Tage vor Beginn untersagt.
Diese Entwicklung ist auch ein Ausdruck der immer stärker werdenden Angriffe auf Zivilgesellschaft. Volle Solidarität mit allen Betroffenen und insbesondere den Organisator*innen bei #AccessNow.

RightsCon, one of the most important conferences world-wide at the intersection of human rights and technology, has been "postponed" by the government of #Zambia, only days before it was to begin.
The conference was preparing for 5,000+ participants, about 3,000 of them in-person. Many of them have already begun their travel.
Beyond the suppression of a conference under flimsy pretenses, there will also be a considerable financial impact on its organizers at #AccessNow @noybeu, an international not-for-profit organization.

Now it's official: #RightsCon 2026 has been censored and cancelled by the government of #Zambia.
This is a loss for the global #DigitalRights community, a bigger one for #AccessNow, and maybe the biggest for #Zambia and the entire region, as future human rights events will think twice before setting foot there. 😪
What a needless waste.

This is absolutely wild: The #Zambia government has just cancelled the world's most important digital rights conference #RightsCon 2026 which was supposed to start next week in #Lusaka. 3,000+ participants are now hanging in limbo (myself included), some already traveled to the country.
I feel for the folks at #AccessNow who have been working so hard on this for months.

Meet the team that investigates when #journalists and #activists get hacked with government #spyware
In the last few years, in the fight to protect these higher-risk communities, a team of a dozen digital security experts, mostly based in Costa Rica, Manila, and Tunisia, among other places, have played a key role. They work for the New York-headquartered nonprofit #AccessNow, specifically its Digital Security Helpline https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/27/meet-the-team-that-investigates-when-journalists-and-activists-get-hacked-with-government-spyware/ -

5. Law enforcement agencies and the #military seem to be respected and trusted partners at the #Disinfo2025 conference, which is co-sponsored by defence tech firms. The level of collaboration and mutual platforming is not something I've ever seen in the #DigitalRights field.
6. With the notable exception of today's last panel with #AccessNow's @epirkova, I have heard hardly anyone discussing impacts on #FreeExpression and Access to Information rights or other human rights such as #privacy.

👉 Правозахисна організація Access Now надсилає запрошення відвідати найбільшу конференцію з цифрових прав - RightsCon
Мейл має заголовок: Your last chance to join us in Taipei!
Думаю, ну так, може й це останній шанс побувати в Тайвані поки Китай не рейданув острів
З України туди точно хтось поїде, але переважно ті, хто закордоном чи жінки)

“In what world can an organisation seriously think it is all right to run a prominent cancer event, bringing together world experts, while also taking sponsorship from a company whose product has caused millions of cancer deaths worldwide? Absolutely shocking.”
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one: in the tech world!

✅ Ймовірно найбільш впливова у світі організація в сфері цифрових прав #AccessNow опублікувала заяву щодо Дурова.
Ще пару років тому це могли б бути безапеляційні вимоги в стилі "Свободу Анджелі Девіс!". Однак, ні.
Access Now відкрито каже про проблеми #telegram як-то повна відсутність наскрізного шифрування, за які давно критикувала Telegram (переклад з дипломатичної: ну ви й уйобки, оскільки ніколи не хотіли захистити користувачів)

Breton: stop politicising the Digital Services Act
PUBLISHED: 19 AUG2024#accessnow #article19 and Electronic Frontier Foundation (#EFF ) are calling on the EU Commissioner Thierry Breton to stop politicising the enforcement of the Digital Services Act (#DSA). The joint civil society statement is in response to Commissioner Breton’s recent letter to X on the far-right riots in the UK and the live-streamed conversation between the U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk.
