Biden staff leads 50-country pledge to 'reclaim' internet, fight 'disinformation'
The new document is signed by many US allies, including the governments of France, Israel, Japan and the UK, but the list doesn’t include many of the largest but relatively poor democracies, such as Brazil, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and the Philippines.
The countries “[r]eaffirm our commitment that actions taken by governments, authorities, and digital services including online platforms to reduce illegal and harmful content and activities online be consistent with international human rights law, including the right to freedom of expression while encouraging diversity of opinion, and pluralism without fear of censorship, harassment, or intimidation,” it says.
“Some states have been acting to repress freedom of expression to censor independent news sources, to interfere with elections, promote disinformation around the world and deny their citizens other human rights,” the official said. The official added: “Russia however is hardly alone, but is just one of the leaders of a dangerous new model of internet policy, along with the People’s Republic of China and some of the other most censorial states in the world.”
