United Nations Planning To Criminalize Spreading ‘Misinformation’ That Causes ‘Social Disorder’ & ‘Hatred.’

 The UN may criminalize posts that promote "hatred" - including "ideological" and "political" - in addition to the vague term "extremism"

  • The Chinese Communist Party has also submitted proposals to criminalize sharing information that results in "social disorder."
  • Under the proposed convention, the UN could potentially override the sovereignty of countries by pushing governments to adopt specific policies about what constitutes "criminal" information shared by citizens

The Ad Hoc Committee responsible for formulating the details of the convention features representatives from the private sector, too

  • Participants include Amazon Web Services, Inc., the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, Facebook's parent company Meta, and Microsoft.
  • Chinese Communist Party-run entities including the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies and Beijing Normal University have also been involved in deliberations.
