UN Official Calls for Silencing of Social Conservatives
< < Go Back
The UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression has released a report recommending governments and social media companies silence those who express traditional views of marriage, abortion, sexuality, and gender identity.
The report calls on governments to curb “gendered disinformation” arguing it is a form of “gender based violence.” Further, the report says criticizing gender ideology is a strategy to silence the free expression of women and “gender nonconforming” people.
The effort comes under the umbrella of ensuring widespread access to information promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights and diverse gender identities. However, in the name of freedom of expression, the report advocates the silencing of pro-life and pro-traditional family content.
For example, a traditional-minded parent who openly opposes advertisements on social media encouraging their teenage child to explore variations on sexuality would, by the standards of this report, engage in gendered disinformation.
