Lisa Woods: Amnesty International NZ Movement Building & Advocacy Director on the cross-sector call for digital accountability from platforms like Facebook and TikTok
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Amnesty International says it's entirely possible for New Zealand to take on big tech.
Several media companies, industry groups and other organisations have signed an Amnesty open letter, calling for a stronger crack down on digital platforms like TikTok and Facebook.
They're calling for an independent regulator to manage risks like fraud, extremist content, and misinformation.
Amnesty International NZ Movement Building & Advocacy Director Lisa Woods told Heather du Plessis-Allan we already hold other big companies to account.
She says they want big tech platforms to face requirements such as a duty of care, to identify and reduce risks, and explain how their systems work.
