UN calls on countries to regulate speech, ban carbon-producing businesses
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres Monday gave a speech in which he laid out the globalist agenda for the year, which included prohibiting “harmful speech” and “misinformation”.
“We will call for action from everyone with influence on the spread of mis- and disinformation on the internet — Governments, regulators, policymakers, technology companies, the media, civil society,” Gutteres said, invoking the Holocaust to support his call for speech regulation. “Stop the hate. Set up strong guardrails. Be accountable for language that causes harm.”
The UN’s war on misinformation has involved forging partnerships with tech giants to ensure the public receives only the science the UN produces.
In one example, UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming boasted in September that the organization has partnered with Google to feed the public its “climate change” narrative.
“We partnered with Google,” said Fleming at the World Economic Forum, adding, “for example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources.”
“We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled ‘climate change,’ we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top,” Fleming said while chuckling.
The UN official then said that the UN and tech platforms “own the science”.
“We’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do,” she said.
In his speech Monday, Gutteres called for companies who do not follow that science to be shut down.
“I have a special message for fossil fuel producers and their enablers scrambling to expand production and raking in monster profits. If you cannot set a credible course for net-zero, with 2025 and 2030 targets covering all your operations, you should not be in business,” he said. (emphasis in original)
The UN created a climate enforcement unit last year to monitor companies, investors, cities and regions who pledged to achieve “net zero” carbon emissions to ensure they are fulfilling their promises. Entities who made the pledge are required to present their plans to the UN by September.
