The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for increased censorship and “interventions” in free speech rights to “improve safety” online.
In a new twist, German economist Klaus Schwab’s organization claims it is “thinking of the children” with its new push for online content moderation.
The group’s “formative content” senior writer lays out its new “protect the kids” agenda in a piece published on the WEF website.
The WEF argues that Big Tech companies must ramp up censorship efforts by removing content and applying warning labels to people’s posts to “enhance safety in digital spaces.”
According to the globalist organization, posts containing “harmful content,” “hate speech” and “disinformation” about “climate change” and vaccines must be removed because children may see it.
The WEF’s Global Coalition for Digital Safety describes itself as “a public-private partnership that draws together tech platforms and online safety organizations alongside academia, civil society, and government in a project to enhance safety in digital spaces.”
Through this group, the WEF wants to be “where it’s at” when it comes to setting standards and rules for everybody.
First, establish “a set of global principles for digital safety to ensure human rights, privacy and security.”
Next, “the panel will also work to create a toolkit for designed-in safety interventions that could include content removal, warning labels as well as proactive tactics to improve safety.”
And lastly, the WEF calls for a “digital safety risk assessment framework, which platforms would use to assess digital safety risks and measure the impact of interventions.”
