Pakistan UN envoy flags tech firms’ opaque content rules
At the UN Fourth Committee, press counsellor Amanat Ali said internet shutdowns, surveillance and corporate algorithms are used to silence self-determination struggles and warp public debate.
Pakistan told the UN Fourth Committee that tech giants are weaponising technology, censorship and surveillance against self-determination struggles.
Press counsellor Amanat Ali linked internet shutdowns, digital surveillance and restrictive media laws to silencing dissent in occupied territories and conflict zones.
He urged international cooperation to curb concentrated tech power and warned that AI misuse can spread deception.
He asked the UN Department of Global Communications to strengthen multilingual coverage and use local information centres.
