What is there to say about the World Economic Forum? Climate czar John Kerry is a frequent flyer to the WEF, where they dine on beef while lecturing the world to stop eating meat to save the climate. They've unveiled the city of the future, a utopia called the "five-minute city" where millions of people live in a miles-long shopping mall enclosed in glass walls with everyone stacked on top of each other and that is 100 percent solar and wind-powered. (Projected completion date: 2045.)
It's hard to say which is worse: the UN or the WEF. Both should be ignored.
A year ago this month, the WEF had former CNN host Brian Stelter moderate a talk on "disinformation." Disinformation is one of those words that's lost all meaning. The Biden administration tried to kick off a Disinformation Governance Board headed up by a woman who called the Hunter Biden laptop story a "fairy tale set in a repair shop." Public backlash killed that off.
But the WEF thinks we should be very concerned about disinformation and misinformation … so much so that it has designated disinformation to be the No. 1 societal risk over the next two years, beating out "extreme weather events" and "societal polarization."
The 2024 Global Risks Report from the @wef (based on the opinions of some 1,500 experts) ranks misinformation and disinformation as the number #1 societal risk in the next 2 years!https://t.co/uWPIvybqZJ pic.twitter.com/dSu0c1IouM

"Experts."
If the so-called "experts" believe that misinformation is a bigger problem than war, perhaps the world leaders should not trust those particular people that much.

Is that because there are 40 major elections across the world this year and they don't want people to have access to real information?

Misinformation, to them, equals true information that they don't want people knowing.

Exactly what you'd expect from WEF. Their top two "risks" are nothing but elitist tools for controlling the masses.

If the experts think that misinformation is a bigger problem than war, then a way bigger problem than misinformation is that the experts are fucking idiots. https://t.co/USmbnxhh4m

They think "Misinformation" is the biggest threat because they classify anything that brings their authority into question as misinformation.

I am sure they reached this conclusion very scientifically.

It’s a bigger threat to the experts because what they call misinformation is often information about how the experts are idiots

I trust absolutely nothing that comes from the WEF.

Totalitarianism and government/establishment propaganda is my #1 and #2.

What they really mean is “information that is true but they don’t like it” (aka Malinformation) and It’s #1 because more than anything else it is what causes people to question and not listen to them.

The “experts” are engineering/controlling the wars.

They are losing control over conversations which is why they have relabeled conversations as “misinformation” and are more worried about it.
The “experts” want to convince people misinfo is a big problem - so that they can justify putting their own “expert” stamp on content moderation policies. Who decides what info is true or false ? Who are these experts ?

That's why the U.S. government thought it had to pitch in with censoring "misinformation" on social media, such as conspiracy theories about the COVID lab leak. Fortunately, the courts have told the Biden administration to butt out.
That disinformation is the experts' No. 1 risk is disinformation.
