Australia joins dozens of countries committing to a ‘democratic’ internet
(Hulk tip to another place )
Something missing in the ‘Key points’ (emphasis added):
“The Declaration for the Future of the Internet lays out values based on the free flow of information, privacy and a regulated digital economy
It is the first such commitment of its kind
Experts cite Russia’s incursions into Ukraine’s cyberspace as reason to act now”
No reference to ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’?
That might give away the purpose. But it’s in the text:
“Some are using, quite clearly, the internet to deny others human rights, conduct or condone malicious cyber activity, spread disinformation and harmful content, and abuse the openness of internet governance to advance a closed and authoritarian vision.”
…
…
“We can achieve this by creating deeper trust in the global digital ecosystem — something states cannot do alone.”
“We can see how Russian propaganda on a new technological level, including using the internet, is transforming people into zombies that are ready to kill, ready to rape children, ready to destroy whole cities,” he said.
“We are living in a strange time; one part of the world is on the way of outstanding technological progress, democracy and sustainable development, while another part of the world is trying to use modern technologies for this genocide.”
“technological progress, democracy and sustainable development”
Hmm, that reeks of startrekkytechietechie troobleevers, since none of those quoted words still mean what the dictionary suggests, having been so politicised by the phrase-makers of the Anglozionist empire. (Democracy indeed! The only dedication that the gics of the Az empire have is to hating it like poison, and doing everything they can to prevent it at all costs. The lying facsimile, by all means; but the substance? God forbid!)
Though in truth, that particular piece of troobleevery quoted above is more widespread than being just in the West. Found everywhere amongst all who have internalised the myth-doctrines of economicgrowthforever, technology as sacred mystery, and PROGRESS!! (God help China and Russia, as they too come up against The Limits To Growth. A bit later than the West, since we’re already crashing into the buffers; but not long in the future…)
Strewth Evvy! I might have heard this in passing but ignored it as bullshit. I just had to check who it was that said the quote above - none other than Ukraine’s minister for digital transformation. They really have got a problem over there in Europe, believing this stuff, as one day they are going to have to wake up to the reality of the dirty little Nazi kingdom they’ve set up and upon which they are now hooked and can’t separate. Having to spend the rest of their wretched lives pretending to agree with 'Elensky and his spawn for fear of having their children raped at knife point by cokeheads. “I just need you to do this one thing more for myy cooouuuntttrryyy… VELCOM to HELL!”
