Glad this made it to @CIMA_Media top 5 publications of 2022 that focused on issues facing the media. As authoritarian regimes around the world enlist platforms in service of state censorship, we must insist platforms put human rights at the core of their moderation policies.

Hey @elonmusk, it seems like it's no longer possible to have a Ukrainian number verify a Twitter account/two-factor authentication. Ukraine is not in your list of countries, see our screenshot. It's vital for us to keep showing the world what's going on in our country.

A bunch of us spent a good 6 months exploring a variety of ideas at the intersection of gender and the digital economy in India, and I guess the results are pretty cool ✨
Extending our solidarity to #16daysofActivism, we are thrilled to release ten critical research papers from our National Gender Fellowship Program 2022 on Gender and the Digital Economy funded by @FESinAsia. You can now download them from our website! 🔗tinyurl.com/5n8rym9m
