In the age of the internet, the need for digital platform transparency and accountability is essential in mitigating human rights abuses. These platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, have so far used a piecemeal response to suppress and amplify different types of content regarding the status of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia — highlighting the real need for researchers and lawmakers to be granted greater access to platform data for research and oversight.
