More censorship demands coming next year.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres took center stage at the United Nations headquarters to speak about what he thinks is the spiraling issue of online “misinformation.”
The Proposal: Going on record, Guterres dubbed the misinformation situation “grave” and pitched the idea of stitching together an international code.
The plot: Guterres’ game plan? A trifecta alliance – roping in governments, tech juggernauts, and civil society – aimed at putting the brakes on the rampant spread of false information, especially on social media. What could possibly go wrong?
What he said: “The proliferation of hate and lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm now,” Guterres said at the press conference on Monday. “It’s fueling conflict, death, and destruction now. It is threatening democracy and human rights now.”
Free Speech Watchdogs Raise Eyebrows: Free speech supporters should be on high alert. All of this talk of regulatory overreach could silence genuine dissent and critical voices, as has already been happening over the last several years. Legal scholars and civil liberties organizations are urging that the proposed code should meticulously consider the implications on free speech, and seek to establish a nuanced approach. The real ones should be calling for it to be scrapped altogether.
Treading Carefully: Guterres didn’t have his blinkers on. He put the alleged dangers of misinformation front and center of his argument – think COVID-19 (who could forget) – but was quick to demand an international code that’s transparent.
Behind the Curtain: The nitty-gritty of the code? It’s still a secret but Guterres said a “United Nations Code of Conduct” for digital platforms should be coming...

Fucking tyrants.
ReplyDeleteYep, what he said.
ReplyDeleteThey're not going to stop, you all get that, right?
Like, this regulation bullshit, tyranny bullshit, pandemic bullshit, global warming bullshit... all the bullshit is just to control you. They are dropping any pretense and going full on commie tyrant.
Rigging the vote? Check.
Arresting political opponents? Check.
Looting the treasury? Check.
Criminalizing dissent? Check.
We are a Banana republic with a petty tyrant dictator. And nuclear weapons. And one ugly ass wife, sheesh!
This only gets better for us in one way, and one way only, and that way is getting harder every day.
Thats what people don't seem to want to accept? This IS really happening, let me assure you. Like a bad movie from the 80s, but its fucking happening right now.
Kick these no good communist assholes to hell out of here and into Russia where they belong....the UN has been anti American for decades now.....
ReplyDeleteThe USA needs to lower funding of the UN to $1 per year stay in the security council but stop the UN from doing all else.
ReplyDeleteThis will go hand-in-hand with attempts to disarm civilians, in order to make any dissent impossible.
ReplyDeleteThese supposed self-appointed world rulers want to make any resistance to their propaganda and lies doomed to failure. None of these asshats will acknowledge that the majority of disinformation and misinformation originates with them.
If America wishes to remain a bastion of liberty and freedom, we need to eject these globalist organizations from our territory and strengthen our Second Amendment rights. Globalists and national leaders who defer to them need to be muzzled.
Russia isn't communist.
ReplyDeleteLet's see: The MSM tells the same story, with the same spin, usually in the same order. They decide what distractions to focus on. They decide who to take down, which felons to ignore. Let's start with them.
