Ranking Digital Rights publishes Spring 2021 Investor Update calling for focus on accountability

"Investors need an updated digital rights playbook for 2021", 21 April 2021

Market bubble or no bubble, tech giants’ market dominance will be challenged in 2021. This is no time for corporate boilerplate answers to digital rights questions. It is critical for investors to focus on accountability by requiring credible disclosure of the tangible steps that companies are taking to identify and address digital rights risks.

The results are in: The world’s most important tech companies are failing to meet key metrics of corporate governance and accountability around privacy, security, content, and information risks to users and societies.

Companies near the top of the RDR Index are still failing in important areas of governance and accountability around their digital rights risks. As a result, users and investors are exposed to risks that companies themselves are failing to track—or even understand.
