Good day all. Surprising no one, the United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner is demanding that companies such as Facebook institute censorship and block anything the UN doesn’t want people to see.
The sad part is, people like that scumbag Zuckerberg and his band of moronic moonbats are more than happy to suppress any views they deem unacceptable, such as saying people have the right to speak their minds and read things someone else might not like. Here are the details from another noted source of misinformation, Yahoo News:
The UN human rights chief urged Facebook Wednesday to more proactively address hate speech but warned against excessive regulation, after US President Donald Trump accused tech giants’ platforms of bias against him.
Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein’s appeal follows a decision by Facebook this week to ban Myanmar’s army chief and other top military brass named in a UN probe linking them to a possible “genocide” against Rohingya Muslims.
The social media network is the prime source of news and information for many in the country, but has also been a platform for the army and Buddhist hardliners to spread hate speech against the Rohingya and other minorities.
So, of course, to stop people from thinking, prevent them from reading anything that has been declared “Wrongthink.” Can’t have anyone making their own decisions now, can we?
The site aired support for the military’s bloody “clearance operations” last year that forced some 700,000 Rohingya over the border into Bangladesh.
“We felt early on very uncomfortable with what we were seeing in Myanmar, (but) in the early meetings that we had with Facebook, I didn’t think they were taking it seriously,” said Zeid, who is due to step down from his post as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the end of the week.
Now I have no idea what is going on in Burma, but suppressing information, even the garbage being spewed by the government is not the way to fix things. Those who agree with what the Burmese government and military are doing aren’t going stop agreeing even if Faceplant blocks it. The best way to fight this is to provide more information, not less. But then, the Imperial Elites in the UN have never been ones to want people to have information, otherwise they would all be strung up from lampposts by now.
“Hopefully they’ve now awoken,” he told reporters in Geneva, warning that there could easily be other cases “where Facebook is the dominant medium in a country where you see a deterioration of human rights conditions and then their role would be brought into question.”
He cautioned that the company should be “careful”, since it risked being subpoenaed in possible future trials “of those accused of the worst crimes.”
Oh really?
“We’ve seen from the jurisprudence of the past that if you’ve enabled, you’ve abetted, you’ve been an accessory,” Zeid said, stressing that while he was not accusing Facebook of that, “they have to be sure that they know where they are and what side of the law they are on.”
Yeah, good luck with that. As much as I despise Mark Zuckerberg and his moronic minions, and as entertaining as it would be to see them all up in the dock at the World Court, that flat out won’t happen. To begin with, the United States doesn’t recognize the World Court or the treaties that let them arrest anyone they don’t like. Second, the United States is a Free Speech nation, (Even if the CommuNazis like Zuckerberg loath it), and we will not allow the UN to go after American Citizens.
One of the things that’s been happening in the United States has been President Trump lambasting Facebook, Google and other Social Media companies for suppressing speech they don’t like. Mostly this has been targeted against Conservatives. President Trump has been talking about regulations, not to suppress opinions, but to make sure all are available. As you might expect, that isn’t what the UN Thugs have in mind.
The Jordanian national, who is set to be succeeded by former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet, urged Facebook to not wait until a full-blown crisis erupts to act against hate speech.
“They should be thinking proactively about what steps they will take to mitigate that,” he said.
In other words, this scumbag wants outright censorship.
Zeid meanwhile warned of going too far in the opposite direction, cautioning that “there is also another danger (of being) overregulated.”
He pointed to recent comments by the US president, who has accused big tech firms like Facebook, Google and Twitter of bias against him, slamming what he called “rigged” internet search results.
Well, they are biased and have been caught banning anyone who isn’t part of the CommuNazi GroupThink community.
Trump offered no details on what if any actions he might take, but a top White House aide suggested the administration may look at some type of regulation in response to the president’s complaints.
Honestly, there isn’t a lot the United States Government can do that is allowed under the Constitution. There may be steps that can be taken on the civil law side, but I’m not sure what can be done even there. However, the UN is run by people who don’t believe in freedom of speech or anything else under our Constitution.
Zeid insisted that instead of more government regulations, the platforms’ actions must “be regulated by (international) human rights law.”
Oh Really? Would you care to guess what would happen if your blue helmeted thugs tried enforcing that load of crap here?
He has repeatedly warned that the US president’s relentless attacks on the media are “dangerous”.
On Wednesday, Zeid said Trump’s recent statements “have been very worrisome to me,” reiterating his warning that the president’s words could trigger violence against journalists.
“All of us would be horrified, but perhaps not shocked if we heard of a journalist that was attacked and severely beaten for example at one of the rallies,” he said, stressing that if that happens “the president would bear some responsibility.”
No, the ones who bear the responsibility are the ones who committed the crime of assault and battery dumbass. But then you are a Socialist and don’t believe in individual responsibility now, do you?
“As the campaigning seasons heat up, whether it be for the midterm elections or the presidential elections to come, the conduct of the president should be under very careful scrutiny by the international community and by this office,” Zeid said.
And to that we say:
