We have been discussing internally how to approach our digital communication this year in light of the recent policy updates from X and Meta: the loosening of the concept of “hate speech,” the dismantling of diversity programs, and the rollback of fact-checking mechanisms.

For some time now, we’ve observed, both globally and regionally, the rise of a notion of “freedom” that strays far from the term’s original meaning. Instead, it seems to serve as a tool for power abuse and the erosion of rights earned through relentless years of social struggles, revolutions, activism, and advocacy.

Recent events have made it clear that the world’s largest digital platforms not only align with this deeply dangerous narrative but also amplify it, disguising hate as “freedom of expression.”

So, what do we do? How do we continue to use these platforms that no longer just suggest but openly declare their intent to erase us? How much longer can we fight against the current? Is it time to consider transitioning, even slowly, toward digital spaces that align more closely with ethics of love and social justice?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.
