Will Big Tech be held accountable when it comes to violence against women?

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

The White House announced voluntary commitments to curb image-based sexual abuse.

Congress has failed to pass meaningful tech policy in the past two decades .

Experts and advocates are skeptical of self-regulation without an official mechanism for accountability.

Congress continues to call on Congress to pass tech legislation that will protect everyone.

There is a tension between regulating to offset harms while allowing room for innovation.

Many times, tech companies adhere to regulations via overcompliance or cutting off access to their product completely.

Critics of voluntary commitments have many ready examples to inform their skepticism.

There is no enforcement mechanism, and there are few resources devoted to following up on these commitments.
