Mr. President,
We agree with the Special Rapporteur that the digital era has transformed the exercise of freedom of expression.
The remarkable advances in the digital field and in artificial intelligence are being hijacked. A few transnational consortia, owners of the main technological platforms, impose their operating systems and applications and control, through their algorithms, the content we see, read, and hear.
