Guatemala: Global Witness assesses how social media is being used to smear and criminalise defenders
Global Witness has launched a report assessing how social networks, including Facebook, TikTok and X, "have become a tool to disinform, smear and strengthen the criminalisation" of indigenous leaders and climate activists in Guatemala.
We invited the companies to comment on the findings. Meta's response is available. TikTok and X did not respond.
