In its January 29th submission, the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications (RCC) - representing Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Rostelecom - advocates for a state-led governance model that challenges the Western-led multistakeholder approach. The submission reflects an ongoing ideological divide between sovereignty and openness in digital governance. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts/rcc-pushes-for-state-led-internet-governance-ahead-of-wsis20-review" class="red"><span class="readmore">more</span></a> </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/9353" class="blue">Pari Esfandiari</a></li> <li>Feb 04, 2025</li> <li>Comments: 5</li> <li>Views: 9,767</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="https://circleid.com/posts/mark-zuckerbergs-content-moderation-overhaul">Mark Zuckerberg’s Content Moderation Overhaul: Prelude to a Fragmented Internet and a Threat to Truth</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Related Topics: <a href="/topics/censorship" class="red">Censorship</a>,  <a href="/topics/internet_governance" class="red">Internet Governance</a>,  <a href="/topics/policy_regulation" class="red">Policy & Regulation</a>,</div> <p> Mark Zuckerberg's recent announcement of sweeping changes to Meta's content moderation policies marks a pivotal moment for the internet, democracy, and truth itself.
