Known as Kinshasa, the program was designed to appeal to people like Blessing Kasasi, a 15-year-old "women's and children's rights activist" who was trained in Kinshasa alongside 30 other young people from a relay club who gathered back in June to learn about how to censor content.
"The objective was to build their capacities in the fight against disinformation, which is taking on worrying proportions on social networks," the UN says about the program.
At the training, young people like Himlish Nketani Nsiala, a law student at the Catholic University of Congo(Université Catholique du Congo), were brainwashed into the art of presenting the "news" the way the UN wants it to be presented.
"There is no point in taking an image broadcast for just purposes, diverting it from its context and manipulating it in order to harm," Nsiala is quoted as saying about the "fact checking" operation and what it aims to do.

If committees have to be formed to censor or mess with disinformation, we have a problem on planet Earth; get UN OUT, they are problem creator's for chaos as witnessed thus far, IMO and not solution seekers? We need pray for stupidity to be put to rest, those Organizations funded for evil, are not in the interest for mankind, in my opinion!
This world was so much better till man playing, mocking, God, decided to try, and control that which is NOT theirs's to control, period, in my opinion!
