UN orders Elon Musk to begin censoring independent media outlets

The UN’s high commissioner for human rights, Volker Türk, has ordered Elon Musk to begin censoring independent media outlets on the platform immediately.

In an open letter, Türk urged Musk to ensure that Twitter respects human rights and monitors so-called “hate speech” and “misinformation.”

In the letter, Türk said he was concerned about “our digital public square and Twitter’s role in it.”

Reclaimthenet.org reports: Türk also said that there is a need to monitor hate speech and disinformation, noting that free speech should not be a “free pass.”

“Like all companies, Twitter needs to understand the harms associated with its platform and take steps to address them,” Türk wrote.

“Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform’s use and evolution. In short, I urge you to ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter under your leadership.”

He also said that Twitter should respect people’s rights to “fullest extent possible under applicable laws” and to publish transparency reports on government pressure to infringe on people’s rights.

The UN official also warned about so-called misinformation and hate speech.

“Twitter has a responsibility to avoid amplifying content that results in harms to people’s rights,” Türk said. “There is no place for hatred that incites discrimination, hostility or violence on Twitter.

“Hate speech has spread like wildfire on social media … with horrific, life-threatening consequences.”

“Conversely, viral spread of harmful disinformation, such as we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to vaccines, results in real world harms. Twitter has a responsibility to avoid amplifying content that results in harms to people’s rights,” the high commissioner said.

  1. I hope Musk flips off all these would-be censors of the platform he owns. The chutzpah of these “world leaders” knows no bounds. Who are they to tell normal people what topics are off-limits for discussion? They’re all inveterate liars, anyway, so whatever they call “disinformation” is most likely true.

    • “Who are they to tell normal people what topics are off-limits for discussion?”
      Good question. The U.N. is allied with WEF and I believe they are under WEF IIRC. They do work together. WEF has declared itself head of the entire world and they are now dictating to other countries what we should do and what we cannot do. In other words, they have taken over the world, at least in their view and they are acting accordingly. This may be why Trump invoked Insurrection Act of 1807 – we are under occupation and Biden is taking his order from WEF. Check out Bailiwick News on Substack. She is a lawyer who looked all this up and did her research, she wrote articles last April IIRC which told us all about this. She tried to sound the alarm but sadly, other news didn’t pick up on it and spread this info. She builds a very solid case for WEF taking over the planet. This was, after all, their end objective – to take over the planet; hence the reason why they call themselves “globalists”. Look up her article, it’s extremely well done, very detailed with tons of evidence. It’s scary but we have to know who the enemy is so we can fight and defeat them.

      • Catholic means Universal in English. Patriarch Kyril secretly met with Francis on Cuba in 2016 after kyril said he would meet Francis anywhere he said anytime
        They insisted they did not discuss theology So what did they discuss except politics?
        In 2019 Francis refused to meet with Kyril or any Orthodox friendly to Putin and sized totally with Ukrainium religipus leaders. That’s why the west supports Ukraine That’s why NATO supports Ukraine.

        • And Cuba was always Spanish till 1898 and then became American occupied until 1902 And really it went back to Spain in disguise by Secrecy. I’m quite certain.
