Several of the world’s largest tech and media companies have joined forces in a new globalist effort to combat “disinformation, misinformation and online content fraud” in a move that has raised concerns about the complete governance of the internet.
A press release issued February 22 by Microsoft stated that the computer and software company would be joined by Adobe, Arm, BBC, Intel, Microsoft, and Truepic, who would together form the “Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).” The C2PA would have as its aim the tackling of what Microsoft termed the “prevalence of disinformation, misinformation and online content fraud through developing technical standards for certifying the source and history or provenance of media content.”
In order to effect this, the C2PA announced its plan to “establish a standardized provenance solution with the goal of combating misleading content.” Under the “solution” mentioned, the C2PA seeks to enable vast numbers of internet users to take part in locating any piece of information deemed “misinformation.” The statement reads: “C2PA member organizations will work together to develop content provenance specifications for common asset types and formats to enable publishers, creators and consumers to trace the origin and evolution of a piece of media, including images, videos, audio and documents.”
C2PA’s announcement pointed to the nature of the internet necessitating such an organization to build “trust” and stressed the need for collaboration among companies, whose purview extended to nearly all corners of the digital world: “Collaboration with chipmakers, news organizations, and software and platform companies is critical to facilitate a comprehensive provenance standard and drive broad adoption across the content ecosystem.”
The C2PA is not a novel idea, as Microsoft acknowledges that it builds upon the similar, pre-existing Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and Project Origin. The latter is a joint effort of Microsoft, the BBC, CBC/Radio Canada, and the New York Times. These four organizations referred to the “growing threat” of “misinformation” and wrote that Project Origin would “establish a foundation for trust in media.”
“With the foundation of the C2PA, technical standards will be unified while these two entities [CAI and Project Origin] continue to pursue adoption, prototyping and education within their respective communities,” Microsoft announced.
Microsoft’s chief scientific officer and Project Origin executive sponsor Eric Horvitz mentioned that there was a “critical need to address widespread deception in online content.” In a blog post about the C2PA, Horvitz revealed that the organization is a brain child of the 2019 Davos meeting, the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting to organize and promote globalist agendas and social engineering.
Horvitz wrote that a key part of the “fight against disinformation is to develop and field technologies for certifying the origin, authenticity and history of online media.” With the arrival of the C2PA, headed by the U.K. news group BBC and software company Microsoft, online media looks set to be subject to the certifying, and authentication of organisations which are part of the C2PA, or merely conform to its directives and standards.
Such news of the formation of C2PA met with backlash from some online, as people were quick to comment on the potential dangers of the new organization. “‘Combat disinformation’ = ‘information we deem fit to be released to the pleb’,” wrote one Twitter user.
Irish media outlet Gript noted that the plans to vet information on the internet raise “all sorts of potential issues surrounding the accuracy and trustworthiness of so-called “official” information.” Gript noted the example of the World Health Organization’s messages in early January 2020 claiming that there was no evidence of any person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 before having to change its “official” statements shortly after.
The formation of the C2PA comes shortly after an opinion piece in the New York Times, one of the four members of the C2PA’s parent group Project Origin, advocated for the appointing of a “reality czar,” who would “tackle disinformation and domestic extremism.” The author, Kevin Roose, called for U.S. president Joe Biden to appoint someone who would solve what Roose styled a “reality crisis,” particularly with regard to COVID-19 and the recent U.S. presidential election.
One of the “experts” Roose appealed to in making his self-confessed “dystopian” argument mentioned how a “centralized task force” would join with “tech platforms” and thus “push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems.”
Only days before, Fox News host Tucker Carlson had warned that a “profound change” was taking place due to moves by the Biden regime to eradicate “forbidden ideas” — namely, those held especially by conservatives. “Your mind belongs to you. It is yours and yours alone,” stated Carlson. “Once politicians attempt to control what you believe, they are no longer politicians. They are by definition, dictators. And if they succeed in controlling what you believe, you are no longer a citizen. You are not a free man. You are a slave.”
Big Tech is increasingly censoring conservative and pro-life voices, particularly since the November presidential election. LifeSiteNews itself was recently completely banned from YouTube, resulting in the deletion of all videos from the channel, which had over 300,000 followers.

The BBC becomes Orwell’s doublespeak Ministry of Truth.
Okay, I read the first sentence…. lol
Look, they want truth, facts & to stop misinformation, fine. Stop the secrecy, publish the data, publish the data which created the published data. Allow anyone to question the sheeple who work in regime departments, pass laws that require all regime employees to tell the truth as far as they understand it, including MPs. Make ministers and the PM wear a lie detector kit while being interviewed or giving speeches. Make all presstitutes available to public contact. Set up an independent reviewer of presstitute lies… the Daily Fail would have 100s per day. Impose heavy fines on all government employees, elected officials and fake news presstitues. How many time a day will you see Daily Fail presstitutes use ‘could or ‘might’?
The fact is, they only want their truth, their facts to be accepted. Biden should be behind bars for all his gaffs and lies. Peter Oborne’s new book about Boris’s lies, hardly anyone in the fake news will touch it. Don’t worry, the thicko sheeple will back at the ballot boxes in 2024… all the good times.

No, the BBC always WAS the Ministry of Truth. Orwell worked for the BBC, promoting anti German propaganda for it. This is precisely what he based the Ministry of Truth on, in his novel.
What amazes me is the sheer stamina of those peddling lies. If they get the world they ultimately want, will they suddenly start being truthful ? And what of obligations to their own children ? I mean, perhaps they should just consider the world may become a better place for all, with more truthfulness ?
I’ve been writing about this for a while now. There’s NO WAY on earth that TPTB will allow any contrary opinion to their agenda. The old world has to go for the new one to come in and that means destroying all of it.
What did I say would be done?
Well, in order to get online you need to use an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Without this, no internet. So the government simply asks ISP’s to hand over logs of channels you’ve visited. When it finds you’ve visited blacklisted sites (like the Truthseeker for example), you get blacklisted. I can’t find the link (and I haven’t time to search for it) but some years ago, the then home secretary (a woman) wanted to pass an internet bill that would jail people, for 10 year, for looking at ‘extremist’ content online. It was aimed at Islamic terrorists and to stop anyone viewing ‘far right’ content online – but anything, today, that doesn’t agree with the official narrative is far right, seeing as we’re living under communism. It was rejected, but expect that bill to be passed in the near future, when they get some more immigrants into positions of authority.
I also stated that they’d ban Virtual Private Networks (VPN’s) as well. That’s coming.
People are just so oblivious to the fact that when they clamp down, it means 100% clamp down. Absolutely NO dissent will be permitted.
So expect to see the government implementing a blacklist of people who visit certain sites, handed over by ISP’s. Those ISP’s who refuse are not given license to supply internet, due to not being allowed to use internet cables and telephone lines, controlled by the major telecommunication companies.
There will be hackers, who’ll be able to bypass this, but they are the tiny minority. More so, they’re the ones who’ll be awake, when the people you need to access the information on the internet are fast asleep.
The BBC needs to go. So does Gates and all the elites. Every msm journalist, politician, judge, police personnel, academia professor, corporatist, big pharma and health industry official are clearly guilty of treason.
They will now try to resurrect “trust” from all of their lies and deceptions by blotting out all truth and the exposure of their lies.
There are the brainwashed sheeple.
There are the brainwashers who are sociopaths and believe there is no real truth about anything, and all that matters is the will to power of their own and of those they serve.
Then there are the truthers who know that the truth does matter and it is evil to brainwash, mislead and lie to the people and to make them into sheeple.
The question for turthers is how to get power without being corrupted by it and by the means used to get it. They have to do more than just pray and sit around waiting for Godot to save everyone. The only way to go is for people to evoke their higher power, to use their faith and trust in God, or whatever power they can utilize to get off of their butts and to spread the truth and network with the those who are liberated from all of the government and media lies.
This morning while out for a walk, their was a 4″x 5″ photocopy pasted on a telephone pole beside the sidewalk, It had a picture of Bill Gates, and stated that he was a principal advocate of radically killing off most of he world’s population, and it posed the question, whether anyone would trust the flu vaccinations he is promoting. The group that posted this little black and white notice, identified itself as the White Rose, and by virtue of just that one little lone posting on a pole in the real world, they now have a real presence, and I know there is now a real resistance forming in the real world which I for one want to be a part of. So easy to do. I say give me a few hundred and some paste.
There is no real freedom without the open dissemination of truth and such real freedom is worth fighting for, lest we all be sheeple. The resistance is real. Join it.
Is Klauss Schwab defacto leader of the NWO?Is WEF the hidden head of the NWO.Every scenario they plan for actually happens.Too much of an coincidence here.Seems like we have a world government already in place and Uncle nose Swab is at the helm now.Anuit Coeptis.The nod has been given.We have arrived.
Interesting word use of ”solution” would that be the final ”solution” these victims are always ranting about as I see it is was FAR from final and Bstards are still at it!!
Victor Rothscrooge ran the BBC for World War Two. It was already as bad as it could get.
