The head of the United Nations, Secretary-General António Guterres, called for a global crackdown on what he called “mis- and disinformation on the internet” during a speech Monday.

“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,” Guterres said. “Stop the hate. Set up strong guardrails. Be accountable for language that causes harm.”

His comment came during a speech on 2023 priorities delivered to the U.N.’s main decision-making body, the General Assembly. The full transcript is available online.

“We will also further strengthen our focus on how mis- and disinformation are impacting progress on global issues, including the climate crisis,” Guterres added.

In other words, to push propaganda without pushback.
The Republic is lost.
