The G20 is at it again. Leaders in Rio de Janeiro are demanding more “accountability” from digital platforms to fight what they call “misinformation,” “disinformation,” “hate speech,” and other “harms.” Translation? More control over what you can say online.

The summit’s final declaration praises the transformative power of the internet, then pivots to the supposed dangers of letting people communicate too freely. They highlight the need for platforms to combat speech they don’t like—while wrapping it in words like “responsibility” and “transparency.”

What’s the real story here? A growing push for censorship under the guise of “protection.” The declaration even calls for cracking down on “online misogyny” and says platforms must align with “relevant policies” (read: government-approved narratives).
