The WHO Is Monitoring Online COVID Conversations To ‘Immunize The Public’ Against Misinformation
LaCorte News ^ | 8/26/2020 | Damjan Tutarkov

The World Health Organization (WHO) is monitoring online conversations and posts in what it described as a “social listening” effort in order to combat what the organization is calling an “infodemic” — the spread of false coronavirus-related information online.

The initiative: In a statement on its website, the WHO said it has teamed with over 50 digital companies and social media platforms including Facebook, TikTok, Google, Viber, WhatsApp, and YouTube “to ensure that science-based health messages from the organization or other official sources appear first when people search for information related to COVID-19.”

“We’re not just battling the virus,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “We’re also battling the trolls and conspiracy theorists that push misinformation and undermine the outbreak response.”

None of their G.D. business as to what I say. If they can’t win in the arena of ideas then they should just STFU!

I don’t think I would trust anything the WHO has to say. And they intentionally let this Covid thing explode.

Hey! W.H.O.! Hey you! Over here! OK, now that I’ve got your attention, W.H.O. . . .

(1) Your organization has NO AUTHORITY over America; and
(2) Kiss my ass. And about 330,000,000 other American asses.

The ‘who’ can say what they want. I have been a witness of their ‘water bucket on a 2-story house fire’ since the ‘70’s, when I was one of the few military personnel affected with the original swine flu!

They are all academics, that let their national pride get in the way of what should be a one for all and all for one international clique! Clusterbuck billing the world of riches!!!

Well, I heard the WHO intentionally helped China develop the Wuhan Virus. It was WHO researchers WHO accidentally let the virus escape from the lab.

Then the WHO conspired with the CCP to allow people to travel internationally in/out of Wuhan. The CCP agreed under the conditions the WHO would provide 'cover' in the media that China was not at fault, that China did everything it could, and the WHO would be amenable to China banning internal travel in/out of Wuhan.

Due to graft, corruption, and hate for the Wests, the WHO minimized the scope of the problem, and then sought to destroy the U.S. economically by pushing to shutdown the U.S. economy.

Or so I heard......

Monitor that one WHOtards.

Corona was the biggest lie in world history. America fell for it as the left prostituted and weaponized it.

This shows they are lying and the media helping them.
Now think what the democrat party is doing with the media companies. Blocking conservatives etc and lying about eveything.

didn’t see a link to source at Lacorte.
it’s even more sinister at WHO:

25 Aug: World Health Organization: Immunizing the public against misinformation
According to a recent study evaluating English-language misinformation, the largest category of posts labeled as false or misleading by fact-checkers was content that deliberately challenged or questioned policies and actions of public officials, governments,and international institutions such as the United Nations and WHO.

One flagrant example of this is “Plandemic,” a 26-minute conspiracy theory video that falsely accuses Dr Anthony Fauci, the leading infectious disease expert in the United States, of manufacturing the virus and sending it to China. The samevideo falsely claims that wearing masks will lead to self-infection. More than 8 million people watched the video across social media before it was taken down...

Social listening with artificial intelligence
“Countering fake news or rumours is actually only responding or mitigating when it’s too late,” said Nguyen. “What we’ve put in place in the beginning of the pandemic is what we call a social listening approach.”
WHO is working with an analytics company to incorporate social listening into its public health messaging development — a first for the Organization...ETC

“What we’ve put in place in the beginning of the pandemic is what we call a social listening approach.”

Well, of course they have been watching us Lab Sheep from the get-go as this is Phase 1 of the PLannedscamdemic. Gates and fellow travelers laid it out in Event 201 (which was how many years in the making?). In true Tavistock fashion, it is important to know how many people are drinking the koolaid without any prodding, and how many are slower and need more scare tactics to breach all rational thinking and self-preservation.

These Criminals have been very successful imho — at the grocery store today here in Michigulag, my husband and I were the only ones without masks, down from about 50/50 when the Gretch first ordered mask wearing. No one bothered us about it, so there is that (big woop). What has changed is the hawking of getting everyone tested, which resulted in a huge number being presented as “new cases sweeping the Nation!” Why would a healthy person let them do this to you voluntarily? This test has already been shown to be loaded with something that may or may not come back positive even without swabbing anyone (Pres.of Tanzania presented his findings about bogus positive test results for goats, pawpaw fruit). These “case” numbers are used to keep you in lockdown as long as it suits the Cause. Plus they got your DNA - perhaps that is what they are really after for the Big DAtabase in the Cloud. Duh.

There still is no documented scientific proof of a new killer virus that emerged all by itself at a wet market in Wuhan, as St. Fauci and Birx told us months ago. People are dying from the same old same old Pneumonia and other lung problems, not to mention lethal ventilator and drug treatment. I do believe that many old and frail people, particularly in the big cities like NYC and Detroit, met a premature death either through medical neglect, or outright medical manslaughter at some hospitals and some nursing homes...worthless eaters, right? Not too worthless considering that $39,000 per head from Medicare for putting granny on a ventilator and near-certain death.

For my fellow non-mask wearers who will not take the Jab, dangerous days are ahead for us. Right now we are demonized for being selfish and only caring about ourselves. With a deceitful track record like FAuci on all past scamdemics, why does anyone listen to him??? This is unprecedented. Never has one man’s word been sufficient to shut down an entire country, not during war or pestilence; our elected government just rolled over and played the Game: Essential Work/Non-Essential Work, Social distancing, Masks, and soon the Jab and Proof of Jab. I realize that Fauci is just the Face of the Globalist CAbal of Evildoers with more power and more money than can be imagined. What gets me is that people believe that Mr. Operation Warp Speed is on our side. Really? Oh, but what a great speech he gave on his Big Plans for the next four years. He is presiding over our decimation right now, so what kind of 4 years do we really have to look forward to? I voted for Trump’s MAGA in 2016. I believe in MAGA - I just don’t believe DJT believes in it. IN true Tavistock fashion, he really knows how to play US.

Experience the effort the NWO is putting into driving the fear of this manufactured burden into the world's consciousness.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+fear+of+coronavirus+is+changing+our+psychology&ia=web

UNprecedented even in deadlier viri versions.

What should be cause for concern is the government is here and they are hell bent on helping.
