Davos Elites Push for Speech Control
By Iulia-Elena Cazan, C-Fam:
Progressive world leaders and heads of major media companies took the stage at the World Economic Forum (WEF) to reaffirm their commitment to “fight” misinformation. This globalist effort is widely recognized as used to eliminate conservative opinions on topics such as abortion, sexual identity, national sovereignty, and COVID-19.
In response to growing public skepticism towards the globalist agenda, the WEF designated this year’s session as one of “rebuilding trust.” Throughout the event, several speakers reiterated that “misinformation” erodes trust in international institutions and world leaders have a moral imperative to combat it. However, progressives often use the word “misinformation” to describe anti-globalist and anti-progressive speech, not necessarily false speech.
Tirana Hassan, the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, linked today’s “misinformation climate” with authoritarianism. Hassan said that “warning signs [of authoritarianism] appear…with concepts such as protecting family values or safeguarding our traditions” and that the public needs to pay close attention to them. “They are often self-serving, manipulative, and almost always harm people and restrict human rights.”
Hassan went on to say that “Another example is where women’s rights come under attack…governments telling women…whether they can be pregnant or not…in Florida, educational censorship where students are prohibited from learning about sexual and gender identity.”
The WEF Global Risk Report 2024 cites misinformation and disinformation as the world’s biggest short-term risks. The WEF launched an initiative entitled “Misinformation and COVID-19 – Strategic Intelligence” that promoted the mainstream COVID-19 response narrative, but they have since taken down the webpage.
