United Nations Planning To Criminalize Spreading ‘Misinformation’ That Causes ‘Social Disorder’ & ‘Hatred.’

The United Nations has launched a new initiative to “counter the use of information and communications technologies” for “criminal purposes,” which appears to apply to individuals who share “misinformation.”
Private companies, including social media platforms such as Facebook’s parent company Meta, are also involved in the venture.
Draft versions of the convention reveal that the UN may criminalize posts that promote “hatred” – including “ideological” and “political” – in addition to the vague term “extremism.” The Chinese Communist Party has also submitted proposals to criminalize sharing information that results in “social disorder.”
The effort began in December 2019, when the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for the formulation of a Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes. Currently, an Ad Hoc committee is working on details – including member states, jurisdiction, and focus areas – for the convention, which will be formalized in September 2024.
While current UN conventions broadly address information and communications technologies, the pending convention will be the first to focus on these methods of communication in the context of “criminal purposes.”
What exactly constitutes “criminal purposes,” however, remains vague, and from the available information about the convention, the term appears to include individuals who spread “misinformation.”

Our note - the devil is in the details and you can bet that the U.N.'s definition of 'misinformation' will not be the same as any dictionary and you will find them moving the goal posts quite often to fit their narrative. THAT being said, be sure to archive such stories and pound them out to the social media keeping a timeline of their shenanigans.
