The UN Internet Governance Forum just wrapped up in Saudi Arabia, and the message is clear: more global collaboration on internet censorship. The justification? "Misinformation" — framed as a deadly threat.
Saudi officials blamed algorithms and “sensational content.” A Meta Oversight Board member went further, declaring that “misinformation kills” in conflict zones like Myanmar and Syria.
The language here matters. “Unregulated online spaces” were painted as a danger. The solution? Fact-checkers, advanced tools, and regulatory cooperation—because free speech is just too risky.
