In 2017, Ranking Digital Rights (RDR) launched its second Corporate Accountability Index, which evaluates 22 of the world’s largest internet, mobile, and telecommunications companies, which together serve billions of customers, on their commitments and disclosed policies affecting users’ freedom of expression and privacy.
For this session, Ranking Digital Rights will give a brief overview of the Index and how our methodology and research process can be used by other stakeholders to hold companies accountable for respecting the rights of their users. The Centre for Internet & Society will present on their research, which adapted the RDR methodology to examine privacy disclosure from internet and telecommunications in India, to share lessons learned in how to conduct a localized ranking.
We will leave time for questions and discussion, and would encourage anyone conducting or interested in launching their own research in this area to attend.
