The UN just dropped the "Cascais Declaration," a manifesto cloaked in lofty ideals but brimming with calls for censorship. Signed by world leaders at the UNAOC Global Forum, it pushes "information integrity"—code for algorithmic censorship and speech policing.
In his speech, UN Sec-Gen António Guterres targeted AI, "hate speech," and "misinformation" as threats to humanity, accusing platforms of enabling them. His solution? Big Tech, media, and governments doubling down on content control—demonetization and suppression included.
Critics aren’t buying the PR spin. They see the UN's "Global Principles for Information Integrity" and the "Pact for the Future" as Orwellian plays for power: surveillance dressed up as safety, censorship masked as harmony.
Guterres promises a "humane information ecosystem." But when governments, Big Tech, and ad giants get to define truth, the result isn’t integrity—it’s control.
