Can Tech Giants ban Fake News?
As we enter difficult times, there is a suggestion that the UK Government will require “Tech Giants” to “stop the spread of fake news”. This is of course SIMPLY code for “suppress anything that we don’t like” and given that this is what ALREADY happens with Facebook, Youtube and TikTok, it REALLY means force Elon Musk to censor the hell out of anyone who dares to take issue with this tyrannical Government on the X/Twitter platform.
“Fake News” is an entirely subjective term and implies that it is NEVER something that the Government or the mainstream media would engage in, which is gaslighting on a cosmic level! It is disturbing to read that the Government plans to “train” young people into how to spot “fake news”
Schools will teach children about spotting extremist content and fake news online in an overhaul of the curriculum after far-right riots erupted across the UK. The education secretary announced on Saturday that English, ICT (information and communication technology) and maths are among the lessons that will be used to “arm” pupils against “putrid conspiracy theories”.
You see where this one is going? Labour wants to brainwash young people and stop them from considering diverse opinions! Let’s hope that Musk does not give them what they want. The main source of “Fake News” is Government. Maybe consider banning them, Elon?
I remember the golden age of YouTube and podcasting back around 2014-2016 when Milo, Mike Cernovich, Stefan Molyneux, Jo Rogan and Infowars were absolutely dominating the algorithms. Once Britain voted to leave the EU and Trump got in the censorship became relentless.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Starmer just gave Ofcom the power to regulate social media, including podcasts. Government subsidised organisations like HNH already have a degree of influence.
I’ve literally tweeted this into his feed multiple times now. Can you ask your followers to do ao? And ask them to demand government bodies and ministers not shut off replies either. We also need to get ourselves onto the Community Notes group so we can challenge everything they say. Can you imagine if we community noted every government post???
