This is highly concerning that they'd praise any portion of a document that calls for censorship of "misinformation" (eerie parallels to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was censored and later proven accurate).
It also paradoxically calls for a "decentralized network", and "government partnerships" with the technical community. Doesn't sound decentralized to me.
Tellingly, the principles of free speech and open debate are not mentioned, which makes sense as the document has signatories such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Sweden and Germany which have laws that regularly put people in jail for non-violent Internet speech.
It laughingly calls for a secure Internet while practically all of the signatories are involved in illegal or questionably legal wiretapping and mass surveillance.
The document is a dystopian nightmare, using weasel words and political speak that almost none of the signatories actually believe.
I'm hoping that this will remain as an empty boardroomspeak "We'll uh, do the good things and stop the bad things!" that doesn't actually result in any negative policy, but you can't defeat policy with wishful thinking. This is very concerning.
