Summary: My guest, David Kaye, is the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression. Today we discuss his new report to the UN Human Rights Council. In this report, David Kaye identifies and explains the ways in which governments and other entities have used COVID-19 to crack down on freedom of expression, independent media, and access to information. Among other things, this includes invoking laws to punish "fake news," and broad internet shutdowns.
