The Tech Transparency Project (TTP) is a research initiative of @Accountable_Org that seeks to hold large technology companies accountable.
- Reports point to online misinfo—including fake claims of open borders—for the recent surge of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. This mirrors TTP research that found misinfo leading many migrants to put themselves in danger when trying to cross into the US.
- Earlier this month, YouTube removed hundreds of videos promoting a sanctioned Russian drone factory, which had been posted on 100s of channels totaling 500mil subscribers. This comes weeks after a TTP report exposed dozens of YT channels for US-sanctioned Iranian entities.
- Yesterday, the @SFCityAttorney demanded that Apple and Google remove 13 AI face-swapping apps capable of creating nonconsensual nude images. The action follows multiple TTP reports showing the companies hosting—and at times even promoting—“nudify” apps on their stores.
