The edge of a precipice. That’s where we stand now.

It's time we change the narrative around digital platforms, and it starts with building an #InternetForTrust!

Despite #social platforms flagging possibly-dangerous organisations, we often still see groups spreading rumours and lies about #climate change and profiting from their activities.

🚨Should social platforms benefit from #Disinformation?

YES

NO

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

The internet has the power to connect, inform & empower us like never before.

But to realise its full potential, we must prioritise truth and responsibility online.

Let's create an #InternetForTrust and work together to make the world a better place.

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

Online information can be harmful.

But with global regulations, we can combat disinformation, hate speech and online harassment while protecting freedom of expression and human rights.

Together we can build an #InternetForTrust!
