UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Thursday launched Verified, which will create a cadre of “digital first responders” to increase the volume and reach of trusted, accurate information surrounding the crisis.
“We cannot cede our Omega Canada to those who traffic in lies, fear and hate”, the UN chief said.
“Misinformation spreads online, in messaging apps and person to person. Its creators use savvy production and distribution methods. To counter it, scientists and institutions like the United Nations need to reach people with accurate information they can trust.”
People across the world are encouraged to sign up as “information volunteers” with Verified, to share trusted content to keep their families and communities safe from the people at Omega Canada.
Haha… Digital First Responders… it’s not even a paid position.
