On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Content Moderation: To Keep or to Delete? - RightsCon Live Recording 49:13

3 years ago49:13

49:13

In this live recording of our Podcast "Digital Rights Explored: Local Fights, Global Perspectives," we talked about content moderation by social media platforms taking a wrong turn. From their initial hands-off approach when it came to content, they turned to today’s invasive approach using also automated processes in making decisions. The platforms get to decide what stays up, and what gets to be taken down. What are the effects of these binary processes on us as society? Our expert Vladimir Cortés (Article 19) shared with us the situation from Mexico where content moderation affects different groups in society. From indigenous groups by not considering their language, to LGBTQI+ activists being limited in their expressions on platforms, and journalists facing takedowns through false DMCA claims. The ground story is the personal story of Waquel Drullard , is an LGBTQI+ activist who has been using social media platforms to talk about sexual dissidence, freedom of expression and lgbtq+ rights. She has experienced how social media platforms like instagram can restrict the voices of those who openly reaffirm their sexual dissidence. Her account was taken down without the respect of due diligence to know exactly what community standard she infringed and effective tools to appeal the decision. Our international expert is Julie Owono (Stanford Content Policy and Governance Lab ) . Julie is developing a multi-stakeholder approach to content moderation in order to provide adequate responses to challenges posed by differences in culture, language, and communities. What are some of the outcomes of the research for content moderation solutions that will be respective of human rights across the globe? RightsCon attendees could use the chat for their questions and comments, and a select number were invited to join the live Podcast discussion with their questions and contributions. Together, in the RightsCon community, we have discussed solutions to the digital rights' violation presented, thinking from both local and context-specific solutions to global ones. We engaged in a very important discussion together, as to how to solve these issues in a more systematic manner. Our expert speakers featured in this episode are: Vladimir Cortés - Digital Rights Program Officer, Article 19, Mexico Julie Owono - executive Director, Internet Sans Frontieres (Internet Without Borders) and Executive Director, Content Policy & Society Lab, Stanford University, U.S. Waquel Drullard - ground story, LGBTQI+ activist, Mexico Link to Reveddit: https://www.reveddit.com tool by Rob Hawkins, grassroots developer in the audience. https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-view-deleted-reddit-posts/ https://www.maketecheasier.com/access-deleted-comments-reddit/ 7 ways to view deleted Reddit posts and comments https://www.tinyquip.com/deleted-reddit-posts/ This episode was created by: Host and editor: Alexandre Amaral Producer: Ena Omerović Co-producer: Vladimir Cortés Consultant (partner DW Akademie): Hanna Hempel Researcher: Gaura Naithani Dubbing: Irene Banos Ruiz This is a Podcast made by the Media and Information Literacy Expert Network (MILEN) with the support of DW Akademie.…

32:45

Being online means being at risk. This episode is dedicated to a problem affecting us all, worldwide - cybercrime. We travel to Kenya where cybercrime is on a steep rise. There has been a 37.3 % jump in cyber criminal activities in Kenya between April to June in 2021 alone. The pandemic played a major role in the rise of cyber crimes like impersonation, online fraude, abuse online etc as the use of the internet grew. We talk with Tevin Mwenda , a lawyer based in Kenya and specialized in Technology Law, Data Protection and Cyber Security. Tevin introduces us to Rukhsar, who has been a victim of the notorious Sim Swap Scam in Kenya. The cybercrime she had undergone left a deep impact on Rukhsar, both psychologically and financially. We explore with Tevin and Rukhsar what happened, step by step, to understand how someone as highly educated and digitally literate as Rukhsar can become a victim of identity theft and money loss, without the possibility of persecuting the perpetrators. With Tevin we discuss the importance of good data policies in countries, as well as their effective implementation. Also when it comes to accountability, who are the ones to blame? In the second part of the episode, we talk with Andrijana Gavrilovic , from the Diplo foundation . Diplo, a Swiss-Maltese non-governmental organisation, works on developing capacity on internet governance, cybersecurity, data, artificial intelligence, and other emerging tech issues. Andrijana explains to us parts of the solutions towards combating cybercrime, including some tips and tricks that we as users can implement, whether in our private or work spheres.

The Metaverse: A Witness from the Future 30:14

3 years ago30:14

30:14

In this episode we talk about the biggest hype of our time when it comes to our digital lives: the Metaverse . Ever since Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement of what his company Meta is developing, everyone in the digital rights community is talking about the implications of this new immersive digital world on our personal lives and on our (digital) human rights. That is why we want to engage with our Podcast in this important discussion too. With this episode we will attempt to answer some of the most basic to more complex questions when talking about the Metaverse. What is the Metaverse (from what experts know so far)? How is it different from other virtual reality worlds we know so far, such as Second Life? What will be the business model of the Metaverse? What could be the potential risks when it comes to our digital rights? And how will countries with emerging economies jump on the "meta train" taking into account digital divides. We will attempt to answer some of these questions and more in this episode with our two expert speakers that we are proud to have: Stefan Roolvink from the Rathenau Institute in the Netherlands and Juliet Amoah from Penplusbytes in Ghana. Stefan does in depth research on the Metaverse, and the impact of this digital technology on us. The Rathenau Institute he works at advises the Dutch parliament on developments surrounding the Metaverse. Juliet Amoah is the executive director of PenplusBytes, an NGO that exists 20 years in Ghana focusing in their work on the media, information and digital rights of citizens in Ghana. This time we do not have a personal ground story as you are used to from us. But you will listen to our "witnesses from the future", that will help us to immerse ourselves into what the Metaverse will be like. Curious? Listen to the episode.

IGF Live Podcast - Internet for All, but Privacy for Me 54:58

3 years ago54:58

54:58

As people get online, they are encouraged or even forced to share significant amounts of personal information . What happens when this data is collated ? And what happens when this data gets into the wrong hands? This can have very real effects offline, putting individuals’ lives in danger. Large corporations and government bodies, while digitising their services for more data-driven societies, violate also (whether deliberate or not) citizens' digital rights by surveilling them, criminalising citizens based on their (digital) data, and/or sharing their data and violating their right to privacy . In face of such a deep systemic digital rights violation , what can be done? In this live recording of one of our podcast episodes of “ Digital Rights Explored. Local Fights, Global Perspectives, ” we talk about digital data collection by governments taking a wrong turn. Our expert from Myanmar , Annie Zaman , shares with us the situation from the ground where citizens face checkpoints where their digital devices are being checked by military, and they can be arrested for the slightest indications of "rebellion", like photos of protests, texts on social media etc. We hear from a young woman who had been arrested and faced serious human rights violations because she had photos on her phone of the protests. What can be done in closed societies and dictatorships- to enhance digital security? Our second expert Osama Manzar explored the effects of intrusive digital ID systems , such as the Aadhar system in India. What can be done to make this ID system more privacy enhancing and inclusive? Shruti Trikanad shares the research results and recommendations of the research by the Center for Internet Society . But we will also bring a global expert on the topic of government surveillance and ID systems - Edin Omanovic - the advocacy director from Privacy International . Edin's work revolves around exposing and challenging abuses of power by governments and corporations. Our questions cover, but are not limited to: How can policy, spanning both privacy and education, help us to reduce this danger and protect our digital citizens? What kind of regulations need to be put in place to protect our rights, and what actions can regular citizens take in order to safeguard their personal information?

In the face of the global pandemic , many countries have imposed different control measures on their citizens under the veil of curbing the further spread of the virus. In this episode we will discuss with Agnes Venema - an expert on national security and emerging surveillance technology - measures taken in Australia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Australia is a country that took perhaps one of the strictest measures globally in containing the spread of the virus. With closed international borders, constant lockdowns, rigorous home quarantine , and no movement between the different states, they managed to keep the infection numbers low. Recent events have sparked some controversy on their approach to keep an eye on their population. One of them is the Covid Home quarantine app introduced by the government in South Australia . Promoted as a voluntary app, we find out that this app is not that voluntary as the government likes its citizens to believe. The app uses geolocation tracking and facial recognition software sparking a human rights discussion, when it comes to the protection of citizen’s privacy. In the second part of the episode we talk to Masa Borak, digital technology reporter in Hong Kong . Masa talks about the facial recognition technology used for tracking the Muslim Uighur minority in province Xinjiang, China . Furthermore we discuss different government approaches when it comes to Covid contact tracing, looking at both China and Hong Kong . *For more information on the systemic tracking of Uighurs in China read this article . Please join us at the Internet Governance Forum, online or on location in Katowice ( Poland , 6-10 December), for a Live Recording of our Podcast where we will continue this discussion, Internet For All But Privacy For Me .

The founder of Tinder said: “Nobody joins Tinder because they’re looking for something.” “They join because they want to have fun . It doesn’t even matter if you match because swiping is so fun.” However in this episode we have examined how dating apps have revolutionised the world of dating and relationships. We explore with an anthropologist and expert on partner choice, sexology, dynamics of long-term relationships and relationship satisfaction - Jaroslava Varella Valentova - why dating apps are so popular in Brazil. We hear the personal testimonies of Jaroslava’s student, Bruno from São Paulo who has had a vast experience using dating apps and shares that at some point he was even addicted to them. In the second part of the episode we talk to an expert in the digital, human centred design and a columnist for renowned Dutch newspaper Trouw. Ilyaz Nasrullah zooms in with us on what the inherent gamified design features are that make dating apps possibly addictive . And how is the business model behind dating apps correlated with their design? This exploration of the digital world of love brings up a wider question to ponder on; how does digital design influence user’s behavior beyond the world of the online. Has meeting in person become a thing of our past? Our expert speakers featured in this episode are: Jaroslava Varella Valentova - Professor Doctor at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Institute of Psychology, University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil Bruno Henrique do Amaral - Ground story, Student of Psychology University of São Paulo (USP) Ilyaz Nasrullah - Digital strategist and columnist on digitisation of Dutch newspaper Trouw This episode was created by: Host and editor: Alexandre Amaral Producer: Ena Omerović Co-producer: Jaroslava Varella Valentova Consultant (partner Deutsche Welle Akademie): Hanna Hempel This is a Podcast made by the Media and Information Literacy Expert Network (MILEN) with the support of Deutsche Welle Akademie (DW Akademie).

Digital Censorship on Social Media Platforms 26:44

4 years ago26:44

26:44

In this episode we talk about digital censorship of independent and critical voices on major social media platforms . This is a contradictory circumstance since it is exactly these platforms that serve, in particular in countries with oppressive regimes, as the channels for dissenting voices to be heard and seen. The platforms often state that the content removal is due to a “technical bug,” but many independent journalists and activists believe they are being silenced by political reasons. In this episode we travel to Turkey, where we speak to Gürkan Özturan , executive manager at the news agency Dokuz8News and an expert on media and censorship in Turkey. Gurkan introduces us to Nesibe Kırış , a lawyer and women’s rights activist. Through Gurkan’s and Nesibe’s stories we learn about their first-hand experience with publishing work on social media followed by their accounts being suspended and/or content removed. In the second part we talk to Ellery Roberts Biddle - a projects Director at Ranking Digital Rights - who tells us about how platforms are scoring across the human rights spectrum, in terms of freedom of expression and right to privacy. Also, how are social media companies responding to the pressure by authoritarian regimes? And why are they accepting some of these laws imposed on them? Ellery shares with listeners her views on what can be done, and practical tips on how we can act when our content is removed. Our expert speakers featured in this episode are: Gürkan Özturan - Executive director at Dokuz8News Nesibe Kırış - Lawyer and women’s rights activist who writes for ApostoNews & Metapolitik Ellery Roberts Biddle - Projects director at Ranking Digital Rights and former Advocacy director at Global Voices Additional reading sources: Impact of Social Media Law on Media Freedom in Turkey Monitoring Report - extended research - October 2020/October 2021 This episode was created by: Host and editor: Alexandre Amaral Producer: Ena Omerović Co-producer: Gürkan Özturan Consultant (partner Deutsche Welle Akademie): Hanna Hempel This is a Podcast made by the Media and Information Literacy Expert Network (MILEN) with the support of Deutsche Welle Akademie (DW Akademie).

Smartphone Divide 23:08

In this episode we explore the topic of the smartphone divide in Namibia amongst its youth. In Namibia, smartphones are the main entry point to the Internet for young people. The country officially has an excess of smartphones per capita. Yet the distribution of smartphones shows a deep urban-rural gap, and therefore leaves around half of the population disconnected from the Internet. In this episode we explore what is at stake for young Namibians who are not digitally connected, in terms of their livelihood opportunities. Petrina Mathews and Opeyemi Toriola are both experienced MIL facilitators at MiLLi* (Media and Information Literacy Learning Initiative). They take us on a journey to rural Namibia, all the way to the Zambezi region, located in the extreme north-east Namibia. Here they talk to and train youth who are not digitally connected. In the second part of the episode we talk with MILEN member Venu Arora, an expert on smartphone devices as an access point for first-time digital users. Venu shares with us what some of the general reasons are behind smartphone divide(s). But also what governments, companies and MIL practitioners can do to bridge the digital divide and help youth to keep up with the progress and development, and provide them access to any knowledge system(s), which is their basic human right.

22:30

Across Latin America, Indigenous human rights defenders have been targeted by enemies who wish to see them silenced because of their work. According to the Colombian non-governmental organization, Indepaz, 269 Indigenous leaders have been murdered in the country since 2016, with 94 leaders in the state of Cauca. As with most types of activism, digital communications figure prominently in organizing among their community, as well as for raising awareness and international solidarity. As more and more communities are getting online, so does the risk of harassment and threats, hacking, and other types of digital disruptions. In this episode we talk with Diana Figueroa from the feminist radio collective i-Radia , which is closely affiliated with Nasa indigenous communities in the state of Cauca (Colombia), providing us a vivid insight into what is happening with this community on the ground offline and online. We also talk with digital security defender Nathaly Espitia from Community Engagement, Internews, who runs the project Convite , which provides a participatory approach to better protecting one’s self online by integrating local cultural and linguistic elements to come up with solutions together. Our global expert in this episode is Sarah Aoun, a human rights technologist. Sarah gives us a wider perspective on activists’ work and the opportunities and threats they face in the digital spheres.
