That’s what this UN representative claims. The basis of her hubristic, arrogant assertion is that the UN partnered with Google to manipulate search results such that when folks like you and me searched for ‘climate change’, the top results were dominated by UN sources and ‘distorted’ information from other sources came way down the list or did not even appear.
It's the same appalling authoritarian mindset that Jacinda Ardern used on New Zealanders regarding Covid: "We will continue to be your single source of truth". Chilling.
In a way it is a good thing they are being so explicit about this, as it will turn people off. While google is nearly monopolistic, it isn't entirely so, and it has its alternatives (I even saw Duck Duck Go being advertised on the TV this week, and the Brave Browser is becoming more popular). The more they are explicit about watching and manipulating us, the more people will go else where, and Google will lose ad revenue. The other problem with capturing the manipulation is that google searches are so ephemeral, and so tuned to the person, so everyone sees something different.
As for the people who want to control "Science", I have to feel somewhat sorry for them. This need to control everything we do, see, say and think must be very stressful way to live, and can't be good for their health. These are also the type of people who can't stand to be mocked, and when the come out with daft statements like this, they get more and lampooned and derided, which hurts them. It is because they need to boast about what they are doing, instead of manipulating from behind the curtain, that they are defeating themselves.
Are these people liars or are they mentally ill in the way they disregard reality? I believe the former because their lying is so consistent. They lied to us about climate change in the past which got them nowhere, they lied about Covid which thankfully also got them nowhere but now they are re-focussing their efforts on their climate change hoax. They are so blatantly taking us for fools, it’s like the famous Solzhenitsyn quote “We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying”.
