iVerify – the UN’s Sinister New Tool for Combatting ‘Misinformation’
Daily Sceptic ^ | Stavroula Pabst

Posted on 08/04/2023 8:59:01 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has quietly announced the rollout of an automated anti-disinformation tool, iVerify, this spring. The instrument, initially created to support election integrity, centres a multi-stakeholder approach spanning the public and private sectors to “provide national actors with a support package to enhance identification, monitoring and response capacity to threats to information integrity”.

The UNDP demonstrates how iVerify works in a short video, where anyone can send articles to iVerify’s team of local “highly-trained” fact-checkers to determine if “an article is true or not”. The tool also uses machine learning to prevent duplicate article checks, and monitors social media for “toxic” content which can then be sent to “verification” teams of fact-checkers to evaluate, making it a tool with both automated and human-facilitated elements.

On its website, the UNDP makes a blunt case for iVerify as an instrument against “information pollution”, which they describe as an “overabundance” of harmful, useless or otherwise misleading information that blunts “citizens’ capacity to make informed decisions”. Identifying information pollution as an issue of urgency, the UNDP claims that “misinformation, disinformation and hate speech threaten peace and security, disproportionately affecting those who are already vulnerable”.

When you seek to gain power by attempting to control information, then your own ability to utilize information will also be stifled.

This dynamic reveals a major point of intellectual deficit found in the minds of the cabal leaders.

It’s the same with anyone who uses deception for self gain.

The only thing all such systems do is establish “official” gatekeeprs as to what is and is not “misinformation”. NO SYTEMS purportting to do that should be believed to be unbiased and instead should be understood to themselves be censors.

Nope.
The UN has zero credibility.
Fact checkers, indeed.

Fake checkers. They don’t care about truth, only the agenda.

It’s better to have no controls on information in place than to put the controls into the hands of these soulless, amoral sociopaths.

How about they fact check Joe Biden taking showers with his 11 year old daughter?

Or Hunter screwing his sister in-law, weeks after the death of his brother Bo.

Or Hunter molesting his 14 year old niece, Natalie?

Yeah, you won’t see that fact checked. /spit

Yup. Fake checkers quash facts when they find them.
