The World Health Organization is busy eavesdropping on
everything you do online, from listening to your conversations and watching
your social media interactions, to analyzing your emotions. The WHO is
partnering with an analytics company to fight what it calls the “spread of
misleading information” about the pandemic.
Dubbed a “social listening approach,” the measures are being
used to scan more than 1.6 million social media posts a week. The aim is to
counteract anything that doesn’t align with the WHO’s current narrative on
illnesses, treatments, interventions and causes of disease.
The United
Nations has already launched a troll army of its own with 10,000 digital
volunteers who troll the internet for what they consider “false” information
that they think they need to combat.
