MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has urged the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, to ensure that Human Rights are fundamental to the management and development of the platform, after all members of the team of this area have been dismissed after taking office.
Similarly, the representative of the United Nations has recalled that he has also dispensed with all the personnel who were dedicated to ethical artificial intelligence, with the exception of two people, which he stressed that “it is not an encouraging start”.
Türk recalled this Saturday in a letter that the businessman has “enormous responsibilities” in this field due to the “influential role of the platform as a digital space”, so he must understand the damage associated with the social network and take measures to address them.
Likewise, he has called on Musk to protect freedom of expression, avoid the amplification of content that harms the rights and privacy of other people, and guarantee that Twitter does not incite “discrimination, hostility or violence”.
In the letter, he has also highlighted the advantages and opportunities of the platform, which, he has assured, “has much to offer to our common agenda for a common world”, although he has pointed out that they must be clear about the requirements to do so. reality.
