The latest government to take action on social media companies is now the US Congress. Specifically, Congressmen Bill Keating, Stephen F. Lynch, Gregory W. Meeks and Congresswomen Carolyn B. Maloney are calling for Meta, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok to preserve and archive the content shared on their platforms that could potentially be used as evidence of Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
“Often, images and videos of these despicable acts and their aftermath have been recorded and shared on social media platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. If verified as authentic, this content could provide the U.S. government and international human rights investigators with a trove of evidence that would help to substantiate allegations of war crimes and other atrocities committed by Russian forces against the people of Ukraine,” – Rep Maloney, Meeks, Lynch and Keating, Members of US Congress
On top of asking these social media platforms to preserve and archive any possible content providing evidence of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine, these Members of Congress also want these platforms to engage with international human rights monitors and civil society organisations and to provide additional transparency on how they use automated systems to flag and take down content violating their policies.
