2020 Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index

The 2020 Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index is now online. The nonprofit research group evaluates 26 of the world’s most powerful digital platforms and telecommunications companies on ‘their disclosed policies and practices affecting people’s rights to freedom of expression and privacy’.

FastCompany says that ‘the report delivers a harsh verdict: ‘From Alibaba to Vodafone, they all get an F’, while Marta Tellado, CEO of Consumer Reports, stated ‘What’s clear is we need much more transparency and accountability for the most heavily trafficked tech platforms, especially where algorithms are concerned.’
