Net Neutrality 26

Hi again Female Muscle Fans. Now this installment is different from others we have made because the media has an important role to fulfill: informing all citizens with no censorship. So let’s begin.

Unfortunately, a new biological menace has appeared in this planet, the COVID-19, a new disease that it has the belief it was developed in China, country that is very restricted in their information agencies. And this new virus has expanded through the world. Each day there are many things related with this new pandemic, some official statistics and some fake news. As you know, politicians around the world are worried because Internet has been a powerful tool in which all injustice acts made by them has been exposed in a clear way, for it, they have wanted to put some censorship locks, but their efforts are vain because people and collectives are organizing a resistance in defense of free information access with no censorship. And now you are asking: what does one thing have to do with the other?

The answer is simple: the news with Internet are traveling at the speed of light, and the necessity of bringing clear and truthful information is crucial to think solutions and acting in consequence. And if politicians are denying our right to a responsible source of information, chaos is around the corner. A responsible flow of right information must be strong against fake news that are making a collective hysteria. If Internet keeps the open channel as we know it, we the users are winning a big right of questioning and debating with politicians, in order to bring the good common for a nation.

It is critical that the governing bodies ensure Internet access in the widest and speedy way possible and refrain from blocking it, as there is no justification for their restrictions on "public policy or national security. In the context of the epidemic, the work of the world's journalists and journalists, as it must give critical information to the public, is more important, and the government actions should be monitored, so its work must be protected with "exceptional backup".

In tragedies like these, is important to have a punctual and veristic information because it can be the difference between a good and a bad decision. For this reason, you must always  check information with a reliable source to counterattack fake news and for questioning and proposal of solutions.

For signatories, there are great concerns about disinformation in this context, and they therefore consider that Internet companies and goverments should provide reliable information, untried to reduce content and censor, since these actions could limit access to important public health information.

Finally, the rapporteurs note that, despite the great potential of surveillance technologies to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the use of these tools should be limited both in purpose and in time, and should only be done in the framework of legislation that complies with international human rights law.

Remember: in this pandemic, please don’t go outside of your home, only if you need to go for purchases and for medical reasons or for strictly necessary causes.
