@SirJJKC "Daylights" (plural) as in "scared the living daylights". "Lyrical" as in "to wax lyrical" (and can you "wax" in any other way?)

This is a really welcome step given the risks stemming from divergent regulation of online platforms. Particularly welcome to see the joint commitment to independence of political influence and to human rights.

Good grief. So many people at Twitter have worked so hard to help the company tackle tough human rights challenges. There's always more to do, but to see all of these efforts just disappear isn't good for Twitter, its users or society. What is Musk thinking?

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

On #ComingOutDay, I'm prouder than ever to be a trustee of the incredible @Kaleidoscope_T, which fights every day for the rights of LGBT+ people facing persecution, discrimination and (in 69 countries) criminalisation. Do give them a follow to hear more about their amazing work.
Kaleidoscope Trust@Kaleidoscope_T

In 69 countries, coming out could lead to prosecution. On #ComingOutDay, whilst we celebrate the bravery of LGBT+ people worldwide who come out and live their truth, we also stand in solidarity with many others for whom coming out is not safe.

Congratulations @DoreenBogdan - this really is fantastic news! I'm hopeful that, under Doreen's leadership, we'll see the ITU play a critical role in increasing access, tackling digital divides, and supporting a free, open and secure internet. #ITU

Watching the protests in Iran and Russia over the last few days has been so inspiring. The bravery of so many in fighting against oppression and injustice, knowing the risk they're taking, is just phenomenal.
