UN GATE,
Nov 24 –
As the United Nations, having
failed on Ukraine and largely
on Gaza, increasingly focus on
issues like trying to censor
the Internet of any anti-UN
content, the organization this
month is surveying its own
staff.
Disgusted
histleblowers sent it to Inner
City Press, banned from even
entering the UN by Department
of Global Communications boss
Melissa Fleming:
Global Staff
Survey on Information
Environments
How often do you use social
media? What do you view
as a reliable source of
information? Do you see
negative impacts of
potentially harmful
information on your
work?
The survey
aims to shed light on how
information is spreading; and
if and how potentially harmful
information is impacting our
work, our priorities, and the
communities we serve.
The survey’s findings will
help support the UN’s work on
information integrity – to
make digital and information
environments safer and more
inclusive for all. The
results will also feed into
the development of the global
code of conduct on information
integrity, which will be
published in June 2024 ahead
of the Summit of the Future.
Potentially harmful
information includes hate
speech against people or
communities OR misleading or
false information.
This information might be
circulating online (websites,
social networks, messaging
apps), via news media (radio,
TV, newspapers), via speeches
by politicians or community
leaders, or via posters and
pamphlets. Where
do you encounter potentially
harmful information the most?
(Select one choice) I
don't experience potentially
harmful information
Social Networks (e.g. Douyin,
Facebook, Instagram, Kuaishou,
LinkedIn, Tiktok, Twitter/X,
VKontakte, WeChat, Weibo,
Youtube, other)
Messaging Apps (e.g. Facebook
Messenger, iMessage,
KakaoTalk, Line, Signal,
Snapchat, Telegram, QQ, Viber,
WhatsApp, other)
Broadcast media (e.g. radio,
television)
Podcasts
And what
will USG Fleming, who has
refused to answer a pro bono
law firm's letter to her about
lifting her lawless ban on
Inner City Press, do with the
information she collects and
cherry picks? Watch this site
