WACC  A moral beacon for communication justice

WACC argues that communication rights are essential for achieving digital, gender, and climate justice. The organization advocates for a shift away from Global North dominance in digital platforms and calls for media regulation, democratic data governance, and a fair global knowledge regime to ensure human dignity and equality.

• WACC identifies communication rights as being integral to the achievement of digital justice, gender justice, and climate justice, arguing that these global challenges require decision-making processes based on equality and human dignity.
• The organization highlights several ethical risks associated with the growth of private tech companies and the deployment of Artificial Intelligence, specifically citing deep fakes, disinformation, the digital divide, and the application of AI in military and surveillance systems.
• WACC observes that digital platforms dominated by the Global North are being utilized to marginalize voices and amplify authoritarianism, often lacking effective regulation or oversight.
• Following the WSIS+20 event in 2025, WACC advocates for systemic changes including democratic data governance, media regulation serving the common good, new non-profit ownership of digital infrastructure, and a realignment of the global digital economy's financial architecture.
• From 2026 onwards, WACC intends to focus on strengthening independent media and exploring how community networks can be used to inform and challenge climate-related issues, including survival, mitigation, and adaptation.
