WEF Complains About “Disinformation,” Calls for a “Concerted Effort” Against It From Government and Tech Companies

The group is also supporting the EU's online censorship law.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) continues its vocal “anti-disinformation” campaign, urging governments, media, tech companies and civil society to all join in.

WEF’s apparent rationale is that “disinformation” is a threat to “our ecosystem” and wants “experts” to explain how to “curb it.” (Pity WEF hasn’t asked some experts to first define disinformation – and explain how to arrive at a broad consensus in society and politics about that definition).

Instead, the informal group representing global elites is giving a nod to the EU and its EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), some of the key components of which are making critics call it “the censorship law.”

A post on the WEF site blames digital technology and what it calls “fragmented media ecosystem” for the supposedly unprecedented amounts of disinformation. Some AI fear mongering is peppered in – that’s these days par for the course.

And it isn’t the old media undermining its own standing, trust-wise, by readily “coordinating” with governments and engaging in biased reporting and censorship, that’s to blame for the steady erosion of trust not just in legacy media, but in those institutions as well.

No – the WEF’s narrative is nothing if not consistent. The reason, it insists, MUST be “disinformation.” And for the media to be trusted again, a society-wide “war on misinformation” needs to be taking place.

"The age of information, social media, and the internet just rose in the past 30 years, with social media only exploding in the past 20 years. Not even two decades since the explosion of social media among the general population in 2005.

2008 was the first real economic crisis in the age of social media - of mass decentralized information flow between people, instantaneously, at virtually any distance.

In 2015/2016, we have the rise of populism..." Cont'd: Populism on the Rise - Excerpt
