The United Nations has ordered world leaders to begin arresting citizens who share content on social media sites that challenges the official narrative.
World leaders all signed a new UN ‘Cascais Declaration’ which makes it a criminal offence to spread non-mainstream content online.
Naturalnews.com reports: Guterres accused “unchecked digital platforms and AI” of allowing “hate speech to proliferate like never before.” He also denounced “misinformation and deepfakes” in the same context.

The secretary-general expressed his desire for Big Tech, advertisers and the mainstream media – alongside some governments and organizations like the UN itself – to double down on online censorship. Incidentally, the latter are among the most serious offenders when it comes to this.
Guterres also pushed a UN-backed censorship initiative during the three-day forum in his home country of Portugal. According to critics, this initiative introduces algorithmic censorship and demonetization under the scope of “anti-misinformation and hate speech” as per the UN’s Global Principles for Information Integrity. He argued that these recommendations allow for “a more humane information ecosystem.”
Cascais Declaration opens the door to more CENSORSHIP
Government leaders unanimously adopted the Cascais Declaration, with many of them being “alarmed” at the global spread of “disinformation, misinformation and hate speech” both online and offline. The document binds them to combating these while strengthening “information integrity.” However, the declaration does not define any of these terms and does not lay out any methods to fight them.
“We must [rein] in hate speech and misinformation spreading online. Hate-filled frenzies are perpetuating stereotypes and misconceptions,” Guterres told attendees of the UNAOC forum. He continued that misinformation and “outright lies” are “fueling repulsive antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and attacks on minority Christian communities.”
“Unchecked digital platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) have endowed hate speech with a speed and reach unseen before, [and] many times they lead to violence. With the proliferation of deepfakes, the impossible and the unverified become credible in an instant.”
