Looks like mostly One-Worlders. Course we didn’t expect them to put Rush or Mark Steyn on there.

I know folks from Snopes are involved in some form or another.

One of the guys at snopes once called the New Testament an abomination.

So at least we know they’ll be fair :)

FACEBOOK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY IT CAN DO WHAT IT LIKES!

FACEBOOK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY IT CAN DO WHAT IT LIKES!

So if a private company censors speech on its platform at the bidding of a government authority, would *that* be a violation of the First Amendment?

OH NO!
Too bad everyone is forced to use Facebook.
They’ll put you in a FEMA camp if you don’t.

Right?

https://globalnetworkinitiative.org/about-gni/

Every day, technology companies receive requests from governments around the world to censor content, restrict access to communications services, or provide access to user data. Given this reality, how can technology companies best respect the freedom of expression and privacy rights of their users – wherever they operate?

The Global Network Initiative (GNI) was launched in 2008 to address this question. A unique multistakeholder platform, GNI was the product of more than two years of deliberation by information and communications technology (ICT) companies, human rights and press freedom organizations, academics, and investors.

The architects of GNI created a multistakeholder process because they recognized that the complex and evolving challenge of protecting digital rights globally requires a concerted and combined effort, drawing on the perspectives, leverage, credibility, and expertise of many different stakeholders.

They also agreed that the foundation for good law and policy is internationally recognized rights to freedom of expression and privacy. These rights and protections are enshrined in instruments such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and subsequently, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights


“Every day, technology companies receive requests from governments around the world to censor content”

Say NO

http://www.osiwa.org/about-us/what-we-do/

OUR ROLE
OSIWA plays a dual role in the region as both an advocate and grant-maker by enabling itself to be agenda-setters both within and alongside other organizations working on the ground. The Foundation works through a unique combination of grant making, advocacy, partnership building and technical assistance.

For example, we help support the production of publications and research studies; run advocacy campaigns using creative means; and provide institutional support to partners on the ground. While most funders either tend to focus exclusively on civil society or governmental institutions, OSIWA has carved its niche through a two-pronged strategic focus: strengthening both democratic institutions and structures and civic participation in decision-making. There are several areas where, over the years, OSIWA has produced strong results.

OUR HIGHLIGHTS
The creation of the West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) as a pioneering capacity-building institution that runs workshops, trainings and conferences that focus on transparency and governance issues in the region. In 2013, WACSI provided capacity building support to over 400 civil society practitioners from about 350 civil society organizations from ten West African Countries (Cote d’Ivoire, Niger, Benin, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Liberia and Sierra Leone).

Supported for awareness-raising on public service delivery. Advocacy campaigns on free movement of goods and services and ‘Publish What You Pay’ have been undertaken in several countries with positive impact in terms of improved citizens’ awareness of their rights in these areas.

The development of the Election Situation Room (ESR) model for civil society engagement with elections in West Africa as a means of lesson-sharing to assure coordinated civil society efforts during election times.

Organized and facilitated, alongside its sister network program Open Society Justice Initiative, the West and Central Africa Regional Consultation on the Draft Global Best Principles on National Security and Freedom of Information.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

The members are a globally diverse group with lawyers, journalists, human rights advocates and other academics. Between them, they are said to have expertise in areas such as digital rights, religious freedom, conflicts between rights, content moderation, internet censorship and civil rights."

I'm optimistic this won't end well.

Yup. Kick Facebook and Google out of the US. They can learn to love the non-Bill Of Rights from another country.
