More Than 50 Nations Launch 'Paris Call' To Fix Hate Speech and Cyberattacks; China and Russia Not Among Signatories, Trump Administration Reluctant To Sign (reuters.com)
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday launched a push to regulate the internet.
France and U.S. technology giants, including Microsoft, are pushing for governments and companies worldwide to sign up for a new initiative aimed at establishing regulations for the internet, to fight such online threats as cyber attacks, hate speech and online censorship. A report adds: With the launch of a declaration entitled the 'Paris call for trust and security in cyberspace,' French President Emmanuel Macron is hoping to revive efforts to regulate cyberspace after the last round of United Nations negotiations failed in 2017.
In the document, which is supported by many European countries but, crucially, not China or Russia, the signatories urge governments to beef up protections against cyber meddling in elections and prevent the theft of trade secrets. The Paris call was initially pushed for by tech companies but was redrafted by French officials to include work done by U.N. experts in recent years. [...] In another sign of the Trump administration's reluctance to join international initiatives it sees as a bid to encroach on U.S. sovereignty, French officials said Washington might not become a signatory, though talks are continuing.

I think the intent is clear: censorship by the good guys is a praiseworthy protection against hate speech. Censorship by the bad guys is deplorable. Doublethink is key to duckspeak.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
Who decides what is hate speech?????
They can call it whatever they like that sounds noble.
The end result will be legally enforced censorship.
Don't you see? It's not censorship when they censor things they don't like.
Macron is the pro-corporate former banker turned pro-elite politician. How you managed to spin that into "socialism" is anyone's guess, especially considering that his country actually has a socialist party, and he ran against them and won.

Anonymous sources with information on the matter say Donald Trump colluded with Russian agents to steal the 2016 election.
Every leftist and over 90% of American media organizations believe this, despite zero evidence, no documentation, no indictments, no verified source of the information, and not even a rational reason as to why they would collude anyway.
But they're supposed to be "smart" with "facts" and "science".
Aka, fucking morons.
