Today *Thursday March 23 2017* att *9:30am EDT* (13:30 GMT/UTC) *Ranking
Digital Rights <https://rankingdigitalrights.org/>* will launch the* 2017
Corporate Accountability Index
<https://www.newamerica.org/oti/events/ranking-digital-rights-2017-corporate-accountability-index/>*:
a ranking of 22 of the world’s most powerful telecommunications, internet,
and mobile companies on their commitments and disclosed policies affecting
users’ freedom of expression and privacy. The 2017 Index follows the
inaugural *2015 Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index
<https://rankingdigitalrights.org/index2015/>* which found widespread
failure by companies to disclose key information about their policies and
practices affecting freedom of expression and privacy. Users were left
largely in the dark about how and why their information is collected, used,
and shared, as well as many of the circumstances under which content is
blocked or removed. Speaking at the launch will be  *Kevin Bankston*,
Director, Open Technology Institute; *Rebecca MacKinnon*, Director, Ranking
Digital Rights; *Melissa Brown*, Partner, Daobridge Capital; *Arvind
Ganesan*, Director, Business and Human Rights, Human Rights Watch; *Niels
ten Oever*, Head of Digital, Article 19. The launch will be webcast live
via *New America's YouTube Channel <https://youtu.be/AMMvuvbAMkg>*.
