Regulating online hate speech not 'censorship' says UN
A UN spokesman says that calling 'efforts to create safe online spaces 'censorship' would 'ignore the fact that unregulated space means some people are silenced,' days after Meta scrapped its fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram, citing censorship concerns. Ravina Shamdasani, spokesman for the UN human rights office, adds that this would particularly affect 'those whose voices are often marginalized.'
