What Big Tech should do in dictatorships? Leaders of Russian opposition Vladimir Kara-Murza, Yulia Navalnaya and Ilya Yashin answers:
1: Put human rights first. Dictators’ “laws” are not legitimate under international standards.
2: Focus on real-world outcomes. Companies must consider the practical consequences of their actions on users and aim to protect them. Data-localization laws exist in many democracies to protect user data, but dictatorships use similar laws to target dissidents and fuel repression.
3: Establish mechanisms for dialogue with civil society. To understand how a law might harm users, tech companies should consult with users and their representatives.
