In their “Westminster Declaration,” released Wednesday, the international group points out that the best way to combat actual disinformation is with free speech. Since the COVID pandemic, authoritarians around the world have used claims of “disinformation” to censor people and stifle dissent about everything from the efficacy of masks and vaccines to the war in Ukraine.
The Westminster group says that they are all “deeply concerned about attempts to weaponize the words ‘misinformation,’ ‘disinformation,’ and other ill-defined terms.“Across the globe, government actors, social media companies, universities, and NGOs are increasingly working to monitor citizens and rob them of their voices,” said the signatories. * In India and Turkey, authorities have “seized the power to remove political content from social media.
Agencies designed to combat the threat of foreign disinformation, such as the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, are “increasingly being turned inward against the public. Under the guise of preventing harm and protecting truth, speech is being treated as a permitted activity rather than an inalienable right.”
The Declaration contends that censorship is ultimately counterproductive: “It sows mistrust, encourages radicalization, and de-legitimizes the democratic process.
