Is there any set criteria and rules and regulations to become fact-checker?
Who decides those criteria?
Is there any accountability mechanism? If and if not playing the expected roles?
If yes, who are they accountable to? Is the legal system involved in that mechanism?
Quoting a statement of one panelists, ‘Fact-checking and public relations cannot work/go together’
Echoing that to be noted as the core value, obligation and commitment for taking the responsibility of fact-checking.
The politicization of factchecking and factchecker was totally absent in the discussion.
Factcheckers need to be legally bound to stay accountable and gain the trust of the users ensuring neutrality and openness.
(When/if factcheckers have political stands, it misleads the users’ community and impacts a false situation which costs peoples’ lives)

· Non-inclusivity was highly remarked. There was no Human Rights Defender in the Panel
· The panelists from Meta and Microsoft explained what kind of initiatives they do have in their mechanism by giving examples of publishing statement/s on human rights violation happenings and having their safeguarding policies on the website to check on.
I’m stating below my observations and opinion on their shared information and statements:
· Safeguarding is more than having policies and expressing solidarity.
· Big tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, etc, shall develop action-oriented Corporate Social Responsibility that leads to a proactive approach and safeguarding mechanism to secure their customers’ rights in terms of freedom of expression, right to information, digital security, data privacy and prohibit the violations of human rights like restrictive internet or internet shutdown by weaponizing their technical strength.
· A mechanism of transparent accountability shall be established for the technical groups/private sectors, governments, and civil society to ensure the users’ rights.

· The mechanism shall establish a legal mechanism to ensure data privacy and combat misuse of private information in people’s virtual lives (maybe) by aligning with international standards like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (Article 12) that ensures the right to privacy. All stakeholder groups shall commit to ensuring this alignment with the national level constitution (for example, the right to privacy is constitutionally protected in Bangladesh under Article 43, part 3)

· Simultaneous initiatives and actions are necessary for expanding and ensuring internet access for all and ensuring digital literacy and digital rights regardless of any intersections.
