Claire, Welcome to the RIPE AA-WG working group!
The DisInfo group looks interesting and there's definitely good work to do there! I should note, however, that the AA-WG is not really intended to look at the content on websites or applications, rather the abuse of network resources as per the charter: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/anti-abuse Now, this is constantly evolving and there are areas of overlap, and often companies that are willing to host extremely disagreeable content (for certain values of same) are willing to host those who would abuse other networks or have not perhaps the most open or transparent relationship with those who have given them the resources needed to do business. I would be very happy to discuss this further with you or your colleagues (as I would be with any member of the WG).

Hi Ronald, all, I might jump on this as an opportunity to introduce myself, having just joined this mailing list. I work on policy and community relations at EU DisinfoLab, a small research-focused NGO that mainly tracks coordinated disinformation campaigns targeting the EU and member states. Parler's move to DDOoS-Guard is clearly on our radar as this is not the first or last of this kind of 'migration' we'll see. Many civil society organisations like mine lack technical literacy in this area and end up contradicting ourselves in our positions, so I'm here with an open ear. My background is in human rights and I was an ISOC youth ambassador last year. looking forward to exchanging with you all here, Claire On Thu, 4 Feb 2021 at 02:32, Ronald F.
