Spread of Hatred & Lies Online Causing Harm to our World | Principles for Information Integrity
Secretary-General António Guterres today launched a set of United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity that calls for “an information environment that champions human rights and a sustainable future.”
Speaking one year after the launch of his report into information integrity on digital platforms, the Secretary-General put forward a framework for coordinated international action to make information spaces safer and more humane, one of the most urgent tasks of our time.
Misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and other risks to the information ecosystem are fueling conflict, threatening democracy and human rights, and undermining public health and climate action. Their proliferation is now being supercharged by the rapid rise of readily available Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, increasing the threat to groups often targeted in information spaces, including children.
Speaking to reporters today (24 Jun) in New York, Guterres said that the five five principles - societal trust and resilience; independent, free, and pluralistic media; healthy incentives; transparency and research; and public empowerment - are based on an overriding vision of a more humane information ecosystem.
“They provide a solid foundation for sustainable, inclusive development, climate action, democracy, and peace,” he emphasized.
Guterres explained that the United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity are the result of broad consultations with Member States, youth leaders, academia, civil society, the private sector including tech companies, and the media.
Those consultations showed that much of the world shares our deep concern and is searching for solutions, he said.
The Secretary-General reiterated, “ The Global Principles lay out a clear path forward, firmly rooted in human rights, including the rights to freedom of expression and opinion.”
He urged governments, the tech sector, and other stakeholders to “listen to your people and your customers - and respond.”
Guterres said that he has a clear message - demand action.
“To the big tech companies - take responsibility,” the UN chief went on by saying that “acknowledge the damage your products are inflicting on people and communities. You have the power to mitigate harm to people and societies around the world. You have the power to change business models that profit from disinformation and hate.”
To advertisers and the PR industry, Guterres told them to “stop monetizing harmful content.”
He continued, “Strengthen information integrity; protect your brand; boost your bottom line. The climate crisis is a cause of particular concern. Coordinated disinformation campaigns are seeking to undermine climate action.”
“Creatives - don’t use your talents to greenwash. PR agencies - look for clients who aren’t misleading people and destroying our planet,” the UN chief added.
In his message to media outlets, Guterres said, “Raise and enforce editorial standards. Do your part to safeguard our future by providing quality journalism based on facts and reality. Find advertisers who are part of the solution, not the problem.”
To governments, the UN chief urges them to “commit to creating and maintaining a free, viable, independent, and plural media landscape. Guarantee strong protections for journalists. Ensure regulations uphold human rights. Refrain from drastic measures, including blanket internet shutdowns. Respect the right to freedom of opinion and expression.”
The United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity stem from a proposal in Our Common Agenda, the Secretary-General’s 2021 report that outlines a vision for future global cooperation and multilateral action.
The Principles provide a resource for Member States ahead of September’s Summit of the Future.

I read that Canada government are trying to pass laws to seriously restrict what people can say, and can share online, the punishment for not abiding by their restrictions being very harsh indeed. That includes via KZread etc. The powerful are not happy that people can get information and see for themselves what's going on in the world, it doesn't suit the narrative of the rich and powerful, their propaganda isn't working for them. Scary times indeed. UN telling us the internet is spreading hate, well maybe they should discuss the propaganda being fed into peoples living room via TV, that is what spreading hate, they are brainwashing people.
Every sovereign nation can take precautions. The UN should not be in the business of deciding what the truth is for 8 billion people, in addition to what vaccinations each person must take, and what foods they can eat.

This comment above itself is misinformation my friend... UN Geneva may be it's own entity but... is the wish and representation of every sovereign nation on this earth. The statement and words represent the highest form of philosophy and ethics of every nation for the billions of people. You need to understand they do not decide what truths, vaccinations... or even what foods people can eat. They merely provide guidelines for the baseline or the very minimal or basic to reach the highest form of health and wellness. By guidelines, I am referring to rules, regulations, or laws that while have flexibility like a dotted line... if crossed or rules are ignored, there are consequence to yourself and possibility others in ways you and/or others may not like. As a social worker, I, personally and professionally rely on them for updates on the global condition and precautions of humanity to just live.

He's delivering the message but world leaders can't admit that they are doing this . Say if they wanted to fix things they send out UN to make their point without admission of rights being suppressed. They are forbidding A, B and C. Permission to try again in a more civilized manner bc in reality we will only bring communication to a griding halt. The atmosphere pre covid spread by many in media was provocative and made many believe that the usual rules were somehow suspended. Those media types made Bank on the misfortune of others and since we can't touch the FCC it's up to them to allow torture for profit and they will do it.
They need to stop spreading lies then. Smh.

I agree, information integrity also includes the responsibility of the powers that be to provide transparency and objective evidence for narratives and/or initiatives chosen to be adopted or undertaken. It is easy to identify individual content creators who profit from fear mongering, it is more important that institutions like main media and governmental bodies and organizations back up what they consider to be " the truth" . Information warfare exists and it is imperative that such things are curtailed in plain sight with transparency.

UNRWA taught hatred of Israel in Palestinian schools and had actual participants in the Oct 7 terrorist attack. These are facts put out by UNRWA themselves. The UN is bias and spreading bias in this particular war. Every war always have civilian casualties that's why people shouldn't start wars but that doesn't mean the terrorist get to win. Palestinians did not need to elect Hamas to lead they are not completely innocent in this either.
Thank you.
Peace only peacefully everywhere forever.

If just words stripped you from goodness than it just a facade, an evil that buried so no one could see when it comes out.

Morning general assembly 25/06/24 . I remember when the General Assembly passed the indigenous human rights declaration Independence was passed in June 2018 majority of countries agreed to this, excluding 6 countries. These 6 countries are active in destructive methods and systems against the indigenous peoples and resources of nations. My point here is Palestinian, Israel, Ukraine war in 2024. These are crimes against humanity which are punishable by Administrative law, Torrens law, and federal law and upon truths these laws do not preceed the Constitutional law of the nation's. Upon the Declaration of indigenous peoples rights our policies do not adhere to these implementation and activities. In turn I feel these crimes should be tried under their own law framework. As they create law for the nation's people, the nation's people have a right to trial them under their own law.
GOD BLESSED YOU... WORLD PEACE

Create new platforms to compete with the current! Bring them into a better place! COMPETITION IS THE WAY. These struggles with how these platforms are used is only because we want to change them. You can't change them, so MAKE A NEW ONE. that's better, that's human, that supports dignety. I would give away all my money and it wouldn't hurt me, because then my works will be true and I would feel truly free and lived for the reasons that my greatest reward is the work I do itself for the future. Nothing can ever compare to the perpetual investment for the growth of many things to exist! So much can exist if we invest, and we aren't materialistic in our desire to gain profit, but create change!
they are not under attack it is a difference of opinion and do not need to be sensored or criminalized for it

And I don't like the paper reduction act and and do you know why there's nothing ever been a paper reduction deck because now the landfills are full of computers and cell phones that are making more garbage and waste than ever if you grow the trees to sheet the paper on tree farms then you don't cut down the forest trees and you only cut down the trees that are grown on a farm specifically to sheet paper cardboard all of those things

And I will tell you this in accordance with the environmental conference I ordered trees and many different types of trees for the United States tribal reservations and seed to plant trees for the United States tribal reservations in super rainwater catchment tanks I order those for the United States tribal reservation only I'm the one that was already sitting there thinking about doing that with my GI bill before there was ever an environmental conference

I think the enrage engage content could be deboosted by the platforms as content that has high ctr but low like rate. You only like when content is unusually engaging, not when it's enraging.
If we wish to bring peace in the world, we must stop false reporting Evil manners in and around at every forums. We cannot make others clean unless we are ourselves clean. Filthy mind cannot purify the dirty mind of others. In order to restore peace we must say no to every Evil in the society and must live in the love and peace of God. Evils must not be allowed in life as much as possible.
