UN TO ROLL OUT EU APPROACH TO ONLINE CENSORSHIP WORLDWIDE Following the example of the EU, whose Digital Services Act and “voluntary” code of conduct for internet platforms are presented and praised in the paper, the Secretary-General announces that the UN will hold broad consultations with stakeholders to develop a UN code of conduct, including mechanisms for enforcement. He will also establish a dedicated capacity “to scale up the response to online disinformation or misinformation and hate speech”. Based on expert monitoring and analysis, this office will “develop tailored communication strategies to anticipate or respond quickly to threats before they cause harm”. This sounds like a large-scale project to monitor and manipulate public opinion. https://norberthaering.de/en/propaganda-censorship/un-information-integrity-en/
