Protect free speech across the globe: Türk urged Twitter to stand up for the rights to privacy and free expression to the full extent possible, under relevant laws, and to transparently report on Government requests that would infringe those rights.The UN Human Rights Chief set out six fundamental principles from a human rights perspective that need to be front and centre in the management of Twitter:

“In short, I urge you to ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter under your leadership,” the High Commissioner said. Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform’s use and evolution.” “Like all companies, Twitter needs to understand the harms associated with its platform and take steps to address them. But I write with concern and apprehension about our digital public square and Twitter’s role in it,” Türk stated in the letter. “Twitter is part of a global revolution that has transformed how we communicate. The letter follows reports of the sacking of Twitter’s entire human rights team and all but two of the ethical AI team – not “an encouraging start,” said Türk.

GENEVA (5 November 2022) – UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Saturday issued an open letter to Elon Musk, Chief Executive Officer at Twitter, urging him to “ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter” under Musk’s leadership.
