EU and UN Discuss How to Address “Disinformation” on Digital Platforms

In an apparent display of bureaucratic synergy, the European Union and United Nations have convened to muse over the implementation of new social media regulations, ostensibly in the pursuit of a more secure and transparent digital milieu. What stirs apprehension, however, is the overt enthusiasm of the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, Melissa Fleming, who anticipates that the EU’s Digital Services Act will establish a “new de facto global regulatory benchmark.” The skepticism arises from the suspicion of veiled intentions to curb free speech under the guise of combating “disinformation.”

Platforms are constantly blamed for the proliferation of “disinformation” and “hate speech,” with detractors painting them as adversaries to science, democracy, and human rights. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres brandishes a doomsday brush, asserting that large-scale disinformation constitutes “an existential risk to humanity.”

What is crucial here is the essence of the dialogue and the response it seeks to galvanize. The UN is fervently plotting a Code of Conduct premised on a policy brief that stresses the imperative for an international clampdown on disinformation. It lays out what seems to be an ambitious and comprehensive framework, involving governments, tech companies, advertisers, and other stakeholders. All very fine, but what remains unaddressed is the question of who gets to define what is “disinformation,” and what criteria determine the line between free speech and misinformation.

Freedom to Free Speech

They don't want anyone questioning 💬 the science, or authority or the media or [ whatever ] 💥

If you do, then that will label you a 🎯 "conspiracy theorist" or "right wing" (remember the term "#refuseniks" Boris 🤡 coined to those who questioned vaccine safety 💉)

What they would actually rather do, is lock 🔒 you up as a crazy, insane person 🤪, so your rights can be taken away. 😢

This is why the Coronavirus Act had removed 2 psychology 📃 signatories authorising who can go into the madhouse. And then you had Oxford University suggest the Rights of mad people be taken away. To vaccinate them against their will.

This is why they want to label those who asks questions.

We won't have it!

This could work with 1 individual, but not with #millions of individuals who stand in their Sovereignty. Who question the narrative.

We are the 99%

Know your #inalienable rights. The individual will go much further than the group in fighting their tactics.

New Michigan “Hate Speech” Bill Could Result In Felonies
First Amendment concerns.

Tensions are brewing in Michigan as a controversial hate speech bill, HB 4474, sails through the state House and now awaits the scrutiny of the Senate. The legislation, branded by critics as a Pandora’s box, seeks to replace Michigan’s Ethnic Intimidation Act and aims to criminalize actions that make individuals “feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” A tangle in the bill lies in its vague wording, with the term “harassment” used as a jigsaw piece without a clear fit, and a potential First Amendment violation.
