The Globo Mad UN is at it Again By James Reed

     Remember all of those UN peacekeeping missions in places in Africa, which led to disaster? You would have thought that they had learnt to keep their heads down and just keep talking, but no, the UN is at it again, pursuing unspeakable evil, at least from my point of view.

“The United Nations wants to hand power to dictatorial regimes like China to control the Internet, prompting fears of a massive new free speech purge. The General Assembly has approved a resolution sponsored by China and Russia to set up a committee of “international experts” whose role would be to stop “the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes.” However, many caution that the move is merely a back door for authoritarian regimes to further censor dissent. “The United States, European powers and rights groups fear that the language is code for legitimizing crackdowns on expression, with numerous countries defining criticism of the government as “criminal,” reports AFP. Human Rights Watch said the list of sponsors for the resolution is “a rogue’s gallery of some of the earth’s most repressive governments” and “gives countries legal cover for internet blackouts and censorship, while creating the potential for criminalizing free speech.” Governments like China already censor and turn off the Internet during times of civil unrest while doling out ‘social credit score’ punishments for those who criticize the state. The Communist country is also rolling out a plan to force its citizens to pass a facial recognition test to use the Internet. Criticized the authorities? No Internet for you.”

     Imagine allowing China to control the internet! Now given that the UN recommends that, what does it say about the politics of the UN? As all the good books in our Right-wing library say, the UN is a globo-commo organisation, short and sweet, maybe bitter.
