I just can’t make this shit up, of course we all knew this already they are just bringing censorship up a notch. The site gives you a look of what they are planning to combat the new movement to work around their censorship world wide.
Lol of course they haven’t learned how to spell organization yet.

Trust In News
The BBC's Trusted News Initiative is a partnership that includes organisations such as Facebook, Twitter, Reuters and The Washington Post. It is the only forum in the world of its kind designed to take on disinformation in real time. Now we and our partners are going to share what we’ve all learned about how to tackle disinformation, and you are invited.


With the introduction of several possible new Covid-19 vaccines, there has been a rise of ‘anti-vaccine’ disinformation spreading online to millions of people.

Examples include widely shared memes which link falsehoods about vaccines to freedom and individual liberties. Other posts seek to downplay the risks of coronavirus and suggest there is an ulterior motive behind the development of a vaccine.

Whilst it is important to scrutinise the science behind new Covid-19 vaccines and give voice to legitimate concerns from people wondering what a coronavirus vaccine means for them, questions about levels of immunity and whether a vaccine is appropriate for those with chronic health conditions, it is vital that audiences know they can turn to sources they trust for accurate, impartial information.

TNI partners will alert each other to disinformation which poses an immediate threat to life so content can be reviewed promptly by platforms, whilst publishers ensure they don’t unwittingly republish dangerous falsehoods.

The TNI is already working together to tackle to spread of harmful coronavirus disinformation and previously has had success running a rapid alert system during the UK 2019 General Election, Myanmar and Taiwan 2020 General Elections and the US Presidential Election.

Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC, says: “2020 has been a year like no other. We have seen the rapid spread of harmful disinformation and a growing number of conspiracy theories online. Whether it’s a threat to our health or a threat to our democracy, there is a human cost to disinformation.

“The Trusted News Initiative partners will continue to work together to expand our framework and ensure legitimate concerns about future vaccinations are heard, whilst harmful disinformation myths are stopped in their tracks.”

Media Education Research Project

Today (10 December 2020), Jamie Angus, Director of the BBC World Service Group announced the launch of a new initiative which will help TNI members to gain an understanding of the effectiveness of interventions to fight misinformation.

Speaking at the World Press Freedom Conference, Jamie Angus confirmed that the BBC World Service Group will fund new research, led by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism working with First Draft. It will examine the effectiveness of different interventions which seek to educate audiences and prevent the spread of health disinformation.

Jamie Angus said: “The vital role of providing trusted and independent news about public health has helped to save lives during the pandemic. The BBC’s disinformation and health teams are already leading the way in countering dangerous disinformation which puts public health at risk - and this will remain paramount as vaccinations are rolled out globally.

“The research project we launch today, supported by the Trusted News Initiative partners, takes place against this background and will provide a deeper understanding of the interventions that fight misinformation.”

The year-long research programme will use innovative research design, fielding multiple surveys in India, Brazil and the UK. It will examine the labelling and correcting of news content by fact checkers and, for example, how displaying brands more prominently affects people’s engagement with news providers. The research will examine how exposure to quality news and news about misinformation in mainstream media sources affects the spread of misinformation, and will be supported by partners within the TNI.

The ambition is to use the findings from this research to inform future media education campaigns and underpin an online media education conference hosted by the BBC in Spring 2021.

The conference will draw on speakers from across the TNI partnership to explore what experts tackling disinformation have learned from a year of fighting Covid-19 falsehoods.

Notes to Editors

The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) was set up last year to protect audiences and users from disinformation, particularly around moments of jeopardy, such as elections. The TNI complements existing programmes partners have in place.

The partners currently within the TNI are: AP, AFP; BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU),Facebook, Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, Microsoft , Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post.

The TNI cooperative framework has been jointly developed amongst partners, and relates to only the most serious disinformation, which threatens life or the integrity of the electoral process. This is entirely separate from and does not in any way affect the editorial stance of any partner organisation.

If they intend to be trusted then consider how many have been banned or locked in the last few years - yet never restored access when they were proven factual and accurate.

Nope, it's just more censorship on their part in reaction to losing ground and being on the wrong side of the propaganda stream.

Anyone who wants to fact check that should assemble a list of what was said about Covid and the vaxx in chronological order. We've seen Fauci flip flop dozens of times, and the CDC is constantly backpedaling over statements they flatly asserted were true but now are disproven by current research.

If anything it reinforces the point that the media isn't reporting the facts, ma'am, they are only reporting the narrative they want you to believe, and having gotten caught misrepresenting things they are now doubling down and working in concert to suppress it even more.

IE they are deliberately engaging in a conspiracy to spread propanganda, not facts. Who's the conspiracy theorists now?

This is nothing more than them becoming aware of their eroding credibility while managing to remain 100% clueless as to why it is happening.

Have you ever seen the non-Chinese ending of Fight Club? That needs to happen but with big tech and "news" media buildings instead.

Their real agenda is probably to unite even more to squash any voice that would dare to contradict their official narriarive.

The media cartel needs to be obliterated.

^^^This. These people are the poster children for ignorance. Unfortunately they also have an insatiable bloodlust for power and control, and will do anything to protect and expand it.

To add to this with a concerted effort.



We all knew they were doing it individually. Our Android phones are pretty much embedded with Google, our computers are embedded with Microsoft. Two of the companies within the TNI. Gates has his fingers all over the Covid 19.

Twitter and Facebook have their grubby fingers all over the election process (drop boxes). They are planning to turn up their efforts in the 2022 and 2024 elections. With Soros kicking in 125 million to the democrats they know they are real close to taking down our country.

Yup, 'Ministry of Truth' is quite the apt description here. Do they really think they'll 'build back trust' by conspiring together to coordinate their censorship efforts. Looking at that list tells me they're primarily interested in ensuring everyone is officially 'on the same page' so they can coordinate the narrative and promote only what's been approved by the Politburo...
