A new report by Amnesty International calls for the dismantling of concentrations of power to make way for rights-respecting digital ecosystems.

You can read the full report here: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/POL30/0226/2025/en/

[Original post on newsmast.social]

An image of a smashed phone is the background to a quote from Amnesty International's Breaking Up With Big Tech report, which reads: "Big Tech’s dominance can lead to devastating consequences for marginalized communities.

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have become primary gateways to news and public discourse. Their algorithmic systems – optimized for engagement and profit – have been shown to amplify harmful content which elicits a stronger reaction from users and keeps us online longer, allowing these companies to collect more data on us and serve us more adverts.

In an increasingly polarized context, this can contribute to the rapid spread of discriminatory speech and even incitement to violence – which has had devastating consequences in several crisis and conflict-affected areas."

Newsmast Foundation branding can be seen.
