The World Economic Forum (WEF) is urging governments to ramp up online censorship to ensure young people are happy.
While the unelected organization didn’t say “You will see nothing, and you will be happy” like they infamously said about owning nothing, their April 5 report on declining happiness levels among young people is accompanied by their suggestions for improving such, including internet censorship, and environmental activism.
“We live in a world where teenagers grapple with a sense of crisis before adulthood; a time when young people, historically beacons of optimism, report lower happiness than their elders,” the WEF’s report states.
One solution they propose is: “Implementing stricter content regulations and policies that limit the spread of negativity and misinformation is crucial.” [Emphasis added]
The WEF further suggests all governments come to a global agreement on how to implement the appropriate level of censorship of negative speech and misinformation.
“International cooperation can ensure these reforms are implemented effectively across borders, creating a safer and more positive online environment for young people globally,” it reads.
A sense of purpose is also encouraged, which the WEF says could be something “like environmental activism or creative writing.”
