Report Finds Big Tech Transparency Reports Fall Short

Report Finds Big Tech, Transparency Reports , Fall Short.

'Fast Company' reports that Big Tech regularly releases data meant to offer transparency into how the world's largest platforms are being run.

This data often shares actions companies take against inappropriate content and when they help law enforcement at the request of governments.

.

A new analysis by academics at the University of Zurich and the University of Bern found that few tech companies follow principles they have previously espoused.

It’s good to be well-informed about what is happening.

And right now, it’s impossible in many aspects, which I guess might lead to over- and under-regulation of the platforms, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.

I think it’s not entirely obvious what Apple would be taking down.

But actually, Apple does moderate its App Store, for example.

We just don’t know how, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.

Similarly, the report found that Amazon moderates what books are sold on its site, however the process of deeming books inappropriate remains unknown.

The report also found that companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn and Twitch adhered to some of the transparency guidelines but not all.

Some might call me cynical on this,but when we think of transparency reports as primarily a public relations mechanism, it all makes sense, Liam McLoughlin, at the University of Liverpool, via 'Fast Company'

Canada BOWS DOWN to Trump’s PRESSURE | Rescinds Digital Tax after Trump ‘KILLED’ Trade talks

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline. #Canada #DigitalTax #Trump #USCanadaTrade #TradeTalks #Amazon #Meta #Google #TechTax #TariffThreat #DigitalServicesTax #Ottawa #MarkCarney #USExports #TradeFreeze #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TradeDeal #CanadaUSRelations #FinanceMinister #TradeReversal #DigitalEconomy #CanadaBacktracks #TrumpTariffs #TaxRollback #BilateralTalks #GlobalTrade Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ‘I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ‘Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

Iran STRIKES Israeli Microsoft Hub | Claims It Hosts IDF Cyber Ops, AI Intel Agents in Be'er Sheva

Iran has launched a missile strike on Be’er Sheva, directly targeting what it claims is a Microsoft office embedded in Israel’s top cyber-military infrastructure. The attack follows a prior strike on Soroka Hospital, as Tehran escalates pressure on what it calls “aggression-supporting” entities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim the targeted site is part of an IDF-linked intelligence and AI network. Israeli officials report no fatalities, but the impact on tech and defense collaborations could be massive. Who really works inside this cyber zone? What are the implications of Iran striking private tech targets? #IranIsraelConflict #BeershevaAttack #MicrosoftIsrael #CyberWarfare #IDF #IranMissileStrike #MiddleEastTensions #ArtificialIntelligence #MilitaryTech #Geopolitics #IsraelUnderAttack #BreakingNews #CyberSpark #IntelOperations #WarNews ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.346~

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
