Civil liberties groups pressure tech companies to take ‘security pledge’
Groups including the ACLU, Color of Change and Fight for the Future launched a campaign asking tech companies to protect users’ rights
Leading US privacy, civil liberties and human rights organizations launched a campaign on Monday calling on tech companies to take concrete steps to protect their users in the wake of revelations about the harvesting and manipulation of Facebook data conducted by Cambridge Analytica.
In an open letter to the tech companies, the group, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Color of Change, Fight for the Future and others, are calling on Facebook, Google and their cohorts to commit to “to protecting their users’ data from exploitation and securing their users’ human rights, ensuring their products and services do not put human rights at risk”.
