The United Nations has launched controversial initiatives targeting gaming platforms and social media under the guise of combating radicalisation and misinformation. Patrick Christys explores how the UN Counter-Terrorism Office and UNESCO are leading efforts like “gaming intelligence” monitoring and AI-driven content moderation tools, sparking concerns about censorship.

Jonathan Haidt: Has Social Media Destroyed a Generation?

by

On Thursday, February 17, Jonathan Haidt and Robby Soave had an Oxford-style debate on the role of government regarding social media before a capacity crowd at the Sheen Center in downtown Manhattan. It was hosted by the Soho Forum, a monthly debate series sponsored by Reason. Soho Forum Director Gene Epstein served as moderator.

Haidt, professor of ethical leadership at New York University and co-founder of Heterodox Academy, defended the debate resolution, “The federal government should increase its efforts to reduce the harms caused by social media.”

Haidt, author of a recent article in The Atlantic on social media’s harm to mental health, pointed out that while the platforms were not initially designed for people under 18, those individuals have arguably been its victims. Haidt likened the platforms to sugar—best taken in moderation.

Federal Leaders Debate Analysis – PPC Maxime Bernier WON

by

PPC Maxime Bernier came to debate issues not to sell promises that won’t be fulfilled.
I hope more people get wise to the professional political parties who only have their own interest at heart, not Canada or Canadians.
