The Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet has recently published an article after receiving a set of documents from an unidentifiable email address. Among them is a several-hour Skype interview with Andrej Nosko, an Open Society Foundation former director. In this conversation, he revealed how the influence network of international organizations works to manipulate the news against the European conservative countries. Also, he admitted that there has been an unfair and biased campaign against Poland and Hungary, financed by different globalist organizations and confirmed the existence of a double standard.

A network of “scientists” called Covinform uses millions from the EU to denigrate anyone who is not satisfied with the authoritarian pandemic policies of those in power. The theoretical basis called intersectionality theory is obscure, the result arbitrary. If it weren’t so bad, the blooms generated by this taxpayer-funded smear machine would be laughable.
Covinform is not to be confused with Cominform, Stalin’s Communist Information Bureau. Rather, Covinform stands for COronavirus Vulnerabilities and INFOrmation dynamics Research and Modeling.
It is a five million euro EU-funded pandemic project that will run from November 2020 until the end of October 2023 (!). One of the focal points of the work is, in my words, to discredit critics of the authoritarian pandemic policy, gladly also with the biggest club available, the accusation of anti-Semitism. The project is funded, seemingly inappropriately, as part of the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, which is actually intended to secure the EU’s global competitiveness through innovation.
Rafael Silva, 36, of TV Alterosa, fainted live this Monday while hosting the news program “Alterosa Alert.” He was quickly rescued and taken to the hospital, where he is now in intensive care. Along the way, he suffered five cardiac arrests.
He took the booster shot on Dec. 28.

You asked us about the origin of a fake news that has been circulating for several days, claiming that Brigitte Macron would be a “transsexual” woman, born under the real name of Jean-Michel Trogneux. The hashtag #JeanMichelTrogneux, launched on November 7 by the account hostile to Emmanuel Macron “Journal de la macronie”, has since found itself among the most discussed topics of the social network Twitter, deciding the entourage of Brigitte Macron to file a complaint. Contacted by CheckNews, the office of the wife of the President told us that “the lawyer of Brigitte Macron” was “responsible for defending his interests following these publications. The latter, Me Jean Ennochi, confirmed to us this Wednesday evening that there would be “prosecutions”.
“On December 6th Twitter banned thousands of accounts in their latest purge of dissenting thought on the doomed and failing platform. As a result Gab.com saw thousands of new sign ups per hour and our traffic skyrocketed. When Twitter Purges, Gab Surges. While this is great news for the Gab community, it’s not great news for Christians. In fact, it’s a sign of what is soon to come which will be much worse than losing your Twitter account.
Something that isn’t being said about the latest Twitter Purge is that it was almost exclusively targeted at young, White, Christian men. Twitter flipped a switch and made thousands of young Christians disappear from one of the world’s top communication systems. No longer can they share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations on a platform where much of the world communicates daily. That’s a big problem, but that is only the surface level of what Christians have coming.
I’ve been trying to help Christians see the bigger picture for a long time about the reality of our situation. As I’ve already written the time for lukewarm Christianity is over. We must prepare ourselves for the inevitable persecution that is to come. We must not fear for we have a sovereign God who is in control. He has blessed us with the gifts to create, to build, and to reform.
If these demons in Silicon Valley have their way the only context that the name “Jesus Christ” will appear on the internet is to be mocked or scorned, just like He is in the rest of “popular culture.” We can’t let that happen. We can’t let our brothers and sisters be persecuted, silenced, demonized, and destroyed by these wicked people. Especially not our young people who are the future of Christendom.
I have long seen where things are headed for the simple reason that I’ve experienced it first hand myself. Soon it won’t just be Twitter. If you’re a Christian you won’t be able to open a bank account. You won’t be able to host a website on the internet. You won’t be able to send emails. You won’t be able to access the app stores. You won’t be able to transact with money online, or off. You won’t be able to get a job. You won’t be able to fly in an airplane. This is coming for us all, and it’s already happening to many of us right now.
Everyday I wake up and work 18 hour days to build infrastructure for our future and bring glory to God because I know for certain that the one thing the Oligarch Regime fears is Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can stop them. Not any politician. Not some billionaire. Not me. Only Jesus.
We can, must, and will lay the foundation of a new civilization, an unapologetically Christian civilization. A parallel Christian economy. Christ is our King right now and it’s about time that we start acting like it. We need to stop sitting around moping and being stepped on by the Enemy.
God has given us the tools and the talents to take dominion in this world in His name and make disciples of all nations as we have been commanded. We can’t do that if the Enemy controls the media, the banks, the governments, the tech companies, and so much more.
Jesus did not ascend into heaven and say “see you later guys, uhh just sit around and let the world trample all over you until I get back.”
He left us a set of very clear instructions.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28-18-20
Jesus has ALL power, not just in Heaven, but here on earth as well.
He told us very clearly to teach and baptize ALL nations.
He reminded us that He is with us ALWAYS.
Gab is essential if we want to be able to share the Gospel on the internet and have fellowship with one another across the world. It all starts with true free speech. If you don’t have true free speech the Gospel can’t be shared. Period.
It will, and already is, being labeled “anti-semitic hate speech” and banned on Big Tech platforms and even by those who claim to be “alt-tech” platforms. All that remains is some watered down subverted version of the true Gospel. It’s an imitation gospel. The gospel of the Regime. The gospel of Fauci. The gospel of Black Lives Matter. The gospel of Trump. The gospel of Fox News. The gospel of CNN. The gospel of Zuckerberg.
There is only one true Gospel and that’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We must see Him for who He is, not who the world tells us He is.
Jesus is not some hippie Mr. Rogers that our culture makes Him out to be. He is the King of Kings. He reigns. He rules. He flips over tables in the temple. He brought the temple down to a pile of ash in 70 AD, as He said he would. He scorns the Den of Vipers. He rebukes the Synagogue of Satan. This is the Jesus I know and worship. This is the Jesus of Scripture. Christians better start getting to know Him fast.
We must not only drive the moneychangers out of the systems of control in our society, rebuke them, scorn them, and flip over their tables. We must also build new systems and infrastructure to form a parallel Christian society that glorifies King Jesus forever and ever amen.

In the diagram of coercion, the psychologist Albert Biderman presents the systematics of psychological torture. It meets us in a frightening way by the worldwide application of the coercive measures of the CORONA-DICTATURE. The comparison proves: The PSEUDO-elites lead a psycho-war against the people! It is originally Chinese and Korean torture methods which were used on US soldiers in the Korean War. Biderman analyzed the offense to the soldiers and created the diagram based on that.
This is how psycho-torture works:
isolation
monopolization of perception
induced exhaustion and debilitation
threat of negative consequences, punishments and violence for non-compliance with rules
Rumble — This brilliant documentary by Tim Gielen reveals how a small group of super rich criminals have been buying virtually everything on earth, until they own it all. From media, health care, travel, food industry, governments… That allows them to control the whole world. Because of this they are trying to impose the New World Order.
Up until his recent messy divorce, Bill Gates enjoyed something of a free pass in corporate media. Generally presented as a kindly nerd who wants to save the world, the Microsoft co-founder was even unironically christened “Saint Bill” by The Guardian.
While other billionaires’ media empires are relatively well known, the extent to which Gates’s cash underwrites the modern media landscape is not. After sorting through over 30,000 individual grants, MintPress can reveal that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.
Recipients of this cash include many of America’s most important news outlets, including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS and The Atlantic. Gates also sponsors a myriad of influential foreign organizations, including the BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom; prominent European newspapers such as Le Monde (France), Der Spiegel (Germany) and El País (Spain); as well as big global broadcasters like Al-Jazeera.
The Gates Foundation money going towards media programs has been split up into a number of sections, presented in descending numerical order, and includes a link to the relevant grant on the organization’s website.
Awards Directly to Media Outlets (CLICK ON BLUE LETTERS SO SEE DETAILS):
Together, these donations total $166,216,526. The money is generally directed towards issues close to the Gateses hearts. For example, the $3.6 million CNN grant went towards “report[ing] on gender equality with a particular focus on least developed countries, producing journalism on the everyday inequalities endured by women and girls across the world,” while the Texas Tribune received millions to “to increase public awareness and engagement of education reform issues in Texas.” Given that Bill is one of the charter schools’ most fervent supporters, a cynic might interpret this as planting pro-corporate charter school propaganda into the media, disguised as objective news reporting.
The Gates Foundation has also given nearly $63 million to charities closely aligned with big media outlets, including nearly $53 million to BBC Media Action, over $9 million to MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation, and $1 million to The New York Times Neediest Causes Fund. While not specifically funding journalism, donations to the philanthropic arm of a media player should still be noted.
Gates continues to underwrite a wide network of investigative journalism centers as well, totaling just over $38 million, more than half of which has gone to the D.C.-based International Center for Journalists to expand and develop African media.
Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (Nigeria) – $360,211
Institute for Advanced Journalism Studies – $254,500
Global Forum for Media Development (Belgium) – $124,823
Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting – $100,000
In addition to this, the Gates Foundation also plies press and journalism associations with cash, to the tune of at least $12 million. For example, the National Newspaper Publishers Association — a group representing more than 200 outlets — has received $3.2 million.
American Society of News Editors Foundation – $250,000
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press- $25,000
This brings our running total up to $216.4 million.
The foundation also puts up the money to directly train journalists all over the world, in the form of scholarships, courses and workshops. Today, it is possible for an individual to train as a reporter thanks to a Gates Foundation grant, find work at a Gates-funded outlet, and to belong to a press association funded by Gates. This is especially true of journalists working in the fields of health, education and global development, the ones Gates himself is most active in and where scrutiny of the billionaire’s actions and motives are most necessary.
Gates Foundation grants pertaining to the instruction of journalists include:
The BMGF also pays for a wide range of specific media campaigns around the world. For example, since 2014 it has donated $5.7 million to the Population Foundation of India in order to create dramas that promote sexual and reproductive health, with the intent to increase family planning methods in South Asia. Meanwhile, it alloted over $3.5 million to a Senegalese organization to develop radio shows and online content that would feature health information. Supporters consider this to be helping critically underfunded media, while opponents might consider it a case of a billionaire using his money to plant his ideas and opinions into the press.
Added together, these Gates-sponsored media projects come to a total of $319.4 million. However, there are clear shortcomings with this non-exhaustive list, meaning the true figure is undoubtedly far higher. First, it does not count sub-grants — money given by recipients to media around the world. And while the Gates Foundation fosters an air of openness about itself, there is actually precious little public information about what happens to the money from each grant, save for a short, one- or two-sentence description written by the foundation itself on its website. Only donations to press organizations themselves or projects that could be identified from the information on the Gates Foundation’s website as media campaigns were counted, meaning that thousands of grants having some media element do not appear in this list.
A case in point is the BMGF’s partnership with ViacomCBS, the company that controls CBSNews, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and BET. Media reports at the time noted that the Gates Foundation was paying the entertainment giant to insert information and PSAs into its programming and that Gates had intervened to change storylines in popular shows like ER and Law & Order: SVU.
However, when checking BMGF’s grants database, “Viacom” and “CBS” are nowhere to be found, the likely grant in question (totaling over $6 million) merely describing the project as a “public engagement campaign aimed at improving high school graduation rates and postsecondary completion rates specifically aimed at parents and students,” meaning that it was not counted in the official total. There are surely many more examples like this. “For a tax-privileged charity that so very often trumpets the importance of transparency, it’s remarkable how intensely secretive the Gates Foundation is about its financial flows,” Tim Schwab, one of the few investigative journalists who has scrutinized the tech billionaire, told MintPress.
Also not included are grants aimed at producing articles for academic journals. While these articles are not meant for mass consumption, they regularly form the basis for stories in the mainstream press and help shape narratives around key issues. The Gates Foundation has given far and wide to academic sources, with at least $13.6 million going toward creating content for the prestigious medical journal The Lancet.
And, of course, even money given to universities for purely research projects eventually ends up in academic journals, and ultimately, downstream into mass media. Academics are under heavy pressure to print their results in prestigious journals; “publish or perish” is the mantra in university departments. Therefore, even these sorts of grants have an effect on our media. Neither these nor grants funding the printing of books or establishment of websites counted in the total, although they too are forms of media.
Low profile, long tentacles
In comparison to other tech billionaires, Gates has kept his profile as a media controller relatively low. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s purchase of The Washington Post for $250 million in 2013 was a very clear and obvious form of media influence, as was eBay founder Pierre Omidyar’s creation of First Look Media, the company that owns The Intercept.
Despite flying more under the radar, Gates and his companies have amassed considerable influence in media. We already rely on Microsoft-owned products for communication (e.g. Skype, Hotmail), social media (LinkedIn), and entertainment (Microsoft XBox). Furthermore, the hardware and software we use to communicate often comes courtesy of the 66-year-old Seattleite. How many people reading this are doing so on a Microsoft Surface or Windows phone and doing so via Windows OS? Not only that, Microsoft owns stakes in media giants such as Comcast and AT&T. And the “MS” in MSNBC stands for Microsoft.
As Al Jazeera marks its 25th anniversary on November 1, the history of the media network is beset with the inherent risks, obstacles and outright attacks it has had to weather by reporting from the world’s most strife-stricken places. The dangers faced by Al Jazeera have included multiple threats to shut down its bureaus and the killing or detention of its front-line journalists. They have ranged from phone hacking and network-wide cyber-attacks, to state-sanctioned satellite scrambling and outright aerial bombardments on bureau locations. Al Jazeera’s Jamal Elshayyal takes a look at the history of the network and the obstacles and dangers it has faced since its inception.
Russia has designated more than 150 news outlets, NGOs and charities as foreign agents. Authorities say the law is no different from rules in other countries, aimed at organisations that get support from abroad. But critics say the law is being used to silence Russian independent media that refuse to tow the Kremlin’s line.
The Philippines journalist Maria Ressa co-founded news website Rappler in 2012, she is known for her critical coverage of Philippine President Duterte’s war on drugs.
Journalists Maria Ressa, of the Philippines, and Dmitry Muratov, of Russia, have won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace”. The announcement for the award, one of the world’s top accolades, was made on Friday by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway.
The German journalist Roland Tichy, who is himself listed comments: “For several hours now, a “list of the 250 biggest misanthropes” has been circulating on the Internet. “For many of them, only a removal would actually help,” it says. “That’s how you do it with dangerous animals that get too close to settlements.” Authors, publicists, doctors, politicians of several parties, actors – it is critics who have criticized this or that measure of the Merkel government. Some consider refugee policy to be nonsense; others criticize the corona measures policy. Otherwise, there is no consistent commonality, only this: They express themselves critically on this or that topic, sometimes more, sometimes less. There are vaccinated among them and vaccine critics, specialist politicians who criticize the energy transition: any contradiction is dangerous.”
The term misantrophes is the opposite to the term “philantroph” which is used by billionaires like Bill Gates to characterize themselves.
I live myself with death threats since more than 10 years. Mostly because of publishing the STASI and KGB agents lists. Earlier because of uncovering real estate corruption scandals.
The White House has bizarrely cut the feed during a meeting about wildfire preparedness with officials and President Joe Biden on Monday, local time. President Biden attended a meeting in Boise, Idaho, about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states in the country’s west.
The president spoke for the majority of the address, but he stopped when he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters. Midway through Mr Biden’s question, which was not part of his prepared remarks, the White House abruptly cut the feed. The incident is one of many occasions where the White House cut the media feed when the president went off his prepared remarks, The incident comes only a few days after Politico reported how White House staffers will “either mute [Biden] or turn off his remarks” because they were anxious that he would veer from “the West Wing’s carefully orchestrated messaging.”
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Meghan Markle and some of her defenders in the media are a “menace to free speech”. According to Mr Bolt, last week Britain’s media watchdog Ofcom defended presenter Piers Morgan’s right to call Markle “unbelievable, untrustworthy, someone who makes stuff up” following her interview with Oprah Winfrey. “The thing is, Meghan Markle does indeed tell the most unbelievable stories about what a victim she is and how terrible the Royal Family is and woe is me,” he said.
“Even if you do believe Meghan Markle, surely a journalist, a presenter is entitled to question her claims, that’s free speech. “But the scary thing about that is not even Morgan’s bosses at ITV believe in free speech anymore, in the right to doubt Meghan Markle.” Mr Bolt said ITV’s decision to dump Morgan following thousands of complaints – including from the Duchess of Sussex herself – was a “sin against journalism, and now Britain’s media policeman Ofcom has suggested exactly that”.
In 1971 Klaus Schwab founded the “European Management Forum” (EMF) in Switzerland. The original aim of the organization was to familiarize European business leaders with American management methods that Schwab had learned at Harvard Business School in 1966/67.
The start was promising. 444 managers from 31 countries attended the first event. The popularity continued in the years to come. There were also guests from Asia, Africa and South America, so that Schwab renamed the EMF the “World Economic Forum” (WEF) and invited the now global management elite to a one-week get-together in the Swiss ski resort of Davos every January for years.
The participants came in droves, many of them regularly. In the seclusion of the Swiss Alps you were among your own kind, could exchange ideas, network, design crisis strategies and give decisive impulses to the global economy.
More footage from Australia is going viral and painting our country as a “dystopian nightmare” where individual rights are not protected and a scared populace submits to a police state, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. “To us, a bunch of teenagers being handcuffed in the middle of the night and fined $1,000 each for the crime of meeting at a Sydney beach has become normal,” she said.
“But the rest of the world looks in abject horror.” Ms Panahi said people around the world are “marvelling” at what’s happening in Australia, noting Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has taken aim at how Australian police are treating protesters. “There is similar commentary and discussions I’ve seen from the UK,” Ms Panahi said. “Is this how we want to be perceived as a country?”
BEIJING will “immediately launch a war” on US troops in Taiwan if an American Senator’s figures are correct. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Chinese state-run Global Times, said the US and Taiwan “must explain” figures posted by an American Senator which claimed 30,000 US troops are on the island.
This is one page of a 693-page report issued by the CIA on various topics. Page 21, seen here, dealt with Project Mockingbird.
Operation Mockingbird is a CIA project started in the early 1950s to control the corporate media, and has been so successful that this site refers to them as the “corporate/controlled media”, to contrast with independent publishers on the internet. The implications for Wikipedia‘s policy of deeming big media a “reliable” and “notable” are obviously dire.|

An anti-hate speech law written in Berlin has been copy-pasted by authoritarian regimes from Caracas to Moscow.
Ein in Berlin verfasstes Anti-Hassrede-Gesetz wurde von autoritären Regimen von Caracas bis Moskau kopiert.
…
Since the adoption of the new German law, at least 13 countries—in addition to the European Commission—have adopted or proposed models of intermediary liability broadly similar to the act’s matrix. According to Freedom House’s 2019 assessment of freedom on the internet, four of those countries are ranked as being “not free” (Venezuela, Vietnam, Russia and Belarus, Honduras is not surveyed but is ranked as “not free” on press freedom), five are ranked “partly free” (Kenya, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines), and only three are ranked “free” (France, the United Kingdom, and Australia). With the exception of India, Kenya, Vietnam, and Australia, all these countries—as well as the European Commission—have explicitly referred to the Network Enforcement Act as an inspiration or justification for their models of intermediary liability.
Moreover, several of these countries, including Venezuela, Vietnam, India, Russia, Malaysia, and Kenya, require intermediaries to remove vague categories of content that include “fake news,” “defamation of religions,” and “anti-government propaganda,” and many of them include overly broad definitions of hate speech that go much further than the German law. A Russian bill signed into law by President Vladimir Putin in March is a good example.
Seit der Verabschiedung des neuen deutschen Gesetzes haben mindestens 13 Länder – neben der Europäischen Kommission – Modelle der Vermittlerhaftung übernommen oder vorgeschlagen, die der Matrix des Gesetzes weitgehend ähnlich sind. Laut Freedom Houses Einschätzung der Freiheit im Internet von 2019 werden vier dieser Länder als „nicht frei“ eingestuft (Venezuela, Vietnam, Russland und Weißrussland, Honduras wird nicht befragt, aber als „nicht frei“ in Bezug auf Pressefreiheit eingestuft), fünf werden als „teilweise frei“ eingestuft (Kenia, Indien, Singapur, Malaysia und die Philippinen), und nur drei werden als „frei“ eingestuft (Frankreich, Großbritannien und Australien). Mit Ausnahme von Indien, Kenia, Vietnam und Australien haben sich alle diese Länder – ebenso wie die Europäische Kommission – ausdrücklich auf den Network Enforcement Act als Inspiration oder Rechtfertigung für ihre Modelle der Vermittlerhaftung bezogen.
Darüber hinaus verlangen mehrere dieser Länder, darunter Venezuela, Vietnam, Indien, Russland, Malaysia und Kenia, dass Vermittler vage Kategorien von Inhalten entfernen, darunter „Fake News“, „Diffamierung von Religionen“ und „Anti-Regierungs-Propaganda“. und viele von ihnen enthalten zu weit gefasste Definitionen von Hassrede, die weit über das deutsche Gesetz hinausgehen. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist ein russisches Gesetz, das Präsident Wladimir Putin im März unterzeichnet hat.
“Socially significant information disseminated under the guise of reliable messages, which creates a threat to life and (/or) the health of citizens or property, the threat of mass disturbance of public order and (/or) public safety, or the threat of creating or impairing the proper operation of vital elements of transport or social infrastructure, credit institutions, energy facilities, industry or communications.”
Any controversial opinion or criticism of the government could plausibly be covered by this overly broad and vague definition, which falls considerably short of international human rights standards.
The explanatory report of the Russian bill explicitly referred to the Network Enforcement Act, and, responding to criticism, Kremlin representatives argued that false information “is regulated fairly harshly in many countries of the world including Europe. It is therefore of course necessary to do it in our country too.” This is a clear example of how Germany’s internet law provides cover for authoritarian states attempting to restrict online content.
„Unter dem Deckmantel zuverlässiger Nachrichten verbreitete gesellschaftlich bedeutsame Informationen, die eine Gefahr für das Leben und (/oder) die Gesundheit von Bürgern oder Eigentum, die Gefahr einer Massenstörung der öffentlichen Ordnung und (/oder) der öffentlichen Sicherheit oder die Gefahr von Schaffung oder Beeinträchtigung des ordnungsgemäßen Funktionierens lebenswichtiger Elemente der Verkehrs- oder sozialen Infrastruktur, von Kreditinstituten, Energieanlagen, der Industrie oder der Kommunikation.“
Jede kontroverse Meinung oder Kritik an der Regierung könnte plausibel durch diese zu weite und vage Definition abgedeckt werden, die deutlich hinter den internationalen Menschenrechtsstandards zurückbleibt.
Der erläuternde Bericht des russischen Gesetzentwurfs bezog sich ausdrücklich auf das Netzdurchsetzungsgesetz, und als Reaktion auf die Kritik argumentierten Kreml-Vertreter, dass falsche Informationen „in vielen Ländern der Welt, einschließlich Europa, ziemlich streng reguliert werden. Deshalb ist es natürlich auch in unserem Land notwendig, dies zu tun.“ Dies ist ein klares Beispiel dafür, wie das deutsche Internetrecht autoritären Staaten Schutz bietet, die versuchen, Online-Inhalte einzuschränken.
In May, Singapore adopted the wide-ranging Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill. The law includes a vague definition of “false statements of fact,” authorizing a minister to issue directions to internet intermediaries that must correct or disable content. Prior to the adoption of the bill, a preliminary report referenced the German law. What might constitute false statement of facts? A 2018 report by the policy forum of Singapore’s ruling People’s Action Party highlighted a Human Rights Watch report critical of press freedom restrictions in Singapore as based on “deliberate falsehoods” used to “advocate political change.” In other words, the law may well be used to target human rights and civil society groups shining a critical light on the Singaporean government.
However, both the Russian and Singaporean laws pale in comparison to the sweeping category of illegal content covered by Vietnam’s draconian Law on Cybersecurity, which passed in 2018 and prohibits: “propaganda against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,” “distortion or defamation of the people’s administrative authorities,” “psychological warfare … causing division or hatred between [Vietnamese] ethnic groups, religions and people of all countries,” “insulting the [Vietnamese] people, the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, great men, leaders, famous people or national heroes,” and “invented or untruthful contents causing confusion amongst the Citizens.”
Im Mai verabschiedete Singapur das weitreichende Gesetz zum Schutz vor Online-Fälschungen und Manipulationen. Das Gesetz enthält eine vage Definition von „falschen Tatsachenbehauptungen“, die einen Minister ermächtigt, Internetvermittlern Anweisungen zu erteilen, die Inhalte korrigieren oder deaktivieren müssen. Vor der Verabschiedung des Gesetzentwurfs wurde in einem Vorbericht auf das deutsche Recht verwiesen. Was könnte eine falsche Tatsachenbehauptung darstellen? Ein Bericht des Politikforums der regierenden People’s Action Party in Singapur aus dem Jahr 2018 hob einen Bericht von Human Rights Watch hervor, der die Beschränkungen der Pressefreiheit in Singapur kritisiert, die auf „absichtlichen Unwahrheiten“ basieren, die verwendet werden, um „politischen Wandel zu befürworten“. Mit anderen Worten, das Gesetz kann durchaus dazu verwendet werden, Menschenrechts- und Zivilgesellschaftsgruppen anzugreifen, die ein kritisches Licht auf die singapurische Regierung werfen.
Allerdings verblassen sowohl die russischen als auch die singapurischen Gesetze im Vergleich zu der umfassenden Kategorie illegaler Inhalte, die unter das drakonische Gesetz zur Cybersicherheit von Vietnam fallen, das 2018 verabschiedet wurde und Folgendes verbietet: „Propaganda gegen die Sozialistische Republik Vietnam“, „Verzerrung oder Diffamierung der Volksrechte“ Verwaltungsbehörden“, „psychologische Kriegsführung … die Spaltung oder Hass zwischen [vietnamesischen] ethnischen Gruppen, Religionen und Menschen aller Länder hervorruft“, „Beleidigung des [vietnamesischen] Volkes, der Nationalflagge, des nationalen Emblems, der Nationalhymne, großer Männer, Führer, berühmte Persönlichkeiten oder Nationalhelden“ und „erfundene oder unwahre Inhalte, die unter den Bürgern Verwirrung stiften“.
It is also problematic that some states, including Russia and Vietnam, have established (or proposed to establish) governmental entities responsible for notifying and ordering intermediaries to remove illegal content without any independent review or complaint mechanisms. When you combine the sweeping nature of the prohibited content with the lack of meaningful oversight, it is clear that these laws will serve to further entrench tight government control over an already restrictive online sphere.
Several of the laws or proposals we identified, including in the U.K. and India, don’t merely rely on a notification and takedown regime. They establish a “duty of care” requiring intermediaries to actively police and preventively remove illegal or undesirable content. Such a step may encourage automated moderation or filtering of user content through artificial intelligence and upload filters. This essentially poses the risk of reintroducing government-mandated prepublication censorship enforced by private tech companies. In the 18th and 19th centuries, European censors lost the struggle to keep up with clandestine publications and increasingly sophisticated printing presses. Consequently, pre-publication censorship all but died in the second half of the 19th century, only to be revamped and revitalized by totalitarianism in the 20th century. But in the digital age, censorship may ultimately be able to search and destroy undesirable content at a scale previously unimaginable.
All these developments suggest that the Network Enforcement Act has provided an important impetus for, and legitimacy to, models of intermediary liability that violate freedom of expression as set out in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This development contributes significantly to the weakening of the already perilous state of internet freedom around the world.
The adverse consequences of the Network Enforcement Act were certainly not intended by the German government. In conjunction with the German constitution and commitment to the rule of law, the act provides safeguards absent from the most draconian laws subsequently adopted by other states. Indeed, several of the countries that have mimicked the German law had already implemented severe restrictions of online freedom prior to the German initiative and would likely have tightened their grip irrespective of the Network Enforcement Act.
Yet, the act seems to have provided several states with both the justification and the basic model for swift and decisive action. Unwittingly, Europe’s most influential country has contributed to the erosion of global internet freedom by developing and legitimizing a prototype of online censorship that can readily be adapted to serve the ends of authoritarian states.
In a world where both online and offline speech is under systematic global attack, democracies have a special obligation to err on the side of free speech. Succumbing to the ever-present temptation of fighting illiberal ideas with illiberal laws is shortsighted and irresponsible. Once democracies cede the high ground, authoritarians will rush in, creating a regulatory race to the bottom. This entails severe and negative consequences for free speech, independent media, vibrant civil society, and political pluralism, without which authoritarianism cannot be defeated, nor democracy defended.
Problematisch ist auch, dass einige Staaten, darunter Russland und Vietnam, staatliche Stellen eingerichtet haben (oder deren Einrichtung vorgeschlagen haben), die dafür verantwortlich sind, Vermittler zu benachrichtigen und anzuweisen, illegale Inhalte ohne unabhängige Überprüfungs- oder Beschwerdemechanismen zu entfernen. Wenn man die weitreichende Natur der verbotenen Inhalte mit dem Fehlen einer sinnvollen Aufsicht kombiniert, wird klar, dass diese Gesetze dazu dienen werden, eine strenge staatliche Kontrolle über eine bereits restriktive Online-Sphäre weiter zu verankern.
Mehrere der von uns identifizierten Gesetze oder Vorschläge, darunter in Großbritannien und Indien, beruhen nicht nur auf einem Benachrichtigungs- und Deaktivierungsregime. Sie begründen eine „Sorgfaltspflicht“, die Vermittler verpflichtet, illegale oder unerwünschte Inhalte aktiv zu überwachen und präventiv zu entfernen. Ein solcher Schritt kann eine automatisierte Moderation oder Filterung von Benutzerinhalten durch künstliche Intelligenz und Upload-Filter fördern. Dies birgt im Wesentlichen das Risiko der Wiedereinführung der von der Regierung vorgeschriebenen Vorab-Zensur, die von privaten Technologieunternehmen durchgesetzt wird. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert verloren die europäischen Zensoren den Kampf, mit geheimen Veröffentlichungen und immer ausgefeilteren Druckereien Schritt zu halten. Infolgedessen starb die Zensur vor der Veröffentlichung in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts praktisch aus, um im 20. Aber im digitalen Zeitalter kann Zensur letztendlich in der Lage sein, unerwünschte Inhalte in einem bisher unvorstellbaren Ausmaß zu durchsuchen und zu zerstören.
All diese Entwicklungen legen nahe, dass das Netzdurchsetzungsgesetz einen wichtigen Impuls und Legitimität für Modelle der Haftung von Vermittlern gegeben hat, die die Meinungsfreiheit gemäß Artikel 19 des Internationalen Pakts über bürgerliche und politische Rechte verletzen. Diese Entwicklung trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, den ohnehin schon lebensgefährlichen Zustand der Internetfreiheit weltweit zu schwächen.
Die nachteiligen Folgen des NetzDG waren von der Bundesregierung sicherlich nicht beabsichtigt. In Verbindung mit der deutschen Verfassung und dem Bekenntnis zur Rechtsstaatlichkeit bietet das Gesetz Garantien, die von den drakonischsten Gesetzen, die später von anderen Staaten verabschiedet wurden, fehlen. Tatsächlich hatten einige der Länder, die das deutsche Gesetz nachgeahmt haben, bereits vor der deutschen Initiative starke Einschränkungen der Online-Freiheit eingeführt und hätten ihre Kontrolle wahrscheinlich unabhängig vom Netzdurchsetzungsgesetz verschärft.
Dennoch scheint das Gesetz mehreren Staaten sowohl die Rechtfertigung als auch das Grundmodell für schnelles und entschlossenes Handeln geliefert zu haben. Unwissentlich hat Europas einflussreichstes Land zur Aushöhlung der weltweiten Internetfreiheit beigetragen, indem es einen Prototyp der Online-Zensur entwickelt und legitimiert hat, der leicht an autoritäre Staaten angepasst werden kann.
In einer Welt, in der sowohl die Online- als auch die Offline-Sprache systematisch weltweit angegriffen wird, haben Demokratien eine besondere Verpflichtung, auf der Seite der freien Meinungsäußerung zu irren. Der allgegenwärtigen Versuchung zu erliegen, illiberale Ideen mit illiberalen Gesetzen zu bekämpfen, ist kurzsichtig und verantwortungslos. Wenn Demokratien erst einmal die Oberhand verlieren, werden Autoritäre eingreifen und einen Regulierungswettlauf nach unten auslösen. Dies hat schwerwiegende und negative Folgen für die freie Meinungsäußerung, unabhängige Medien, eine lebendige Zivilgesellschaft und den politischen Pluralismus, ohne die der Autoritarismus nicht besiegt und die Demokratie nicht verteidigt werden kann.
