I think that boat has probably long sailed, but worth a shot, at least he's trying.

He's just Starmer with better people skills so I'm not a fan. Won't be a supporter unless/until they stop the authoritarian bullshit but I'll applaud the small wins

Inb4 "fighting disinformation" turns out to mean "further cracking down on people protesting the genocide of Palestinians" in practice, while actual disinformation continues to go unchecked or even be protected.

The Ministry of Truth (1984)

Thought this was Bo Burnham for a second and briefly wondered why.

Western governments should look in the mirror, instead of solely putting the blame at information-campaigns from foreign actors. The whole reason why these theories seem plausible to your own citizens, is because they have no faith in you; because you have a track record of acting against their best interests. An increasing number of people are sick of hearing one-sided, fearmongering, and escalating narratives, where anything that challenges that, be it truthful or not, may resonate with this group. And good luck discerning disinformation from misinformation, where the only difference is intent; which will be challenging to substantiate.

Including Zionist disinformation?

So the government will fight the government too?

This is an example of the daily disinformation I encounter

Cut the fibres to russia. Mandate blocks on non individuals accounts on all social medias from south east asia, Russia, China.

We don't need to see any of it.

Don’t tell the Russians what you’re doing Andy

Does this include climate change denial that is given equal footing in media despite it being a fringe theory for idiots?

Does it include the truth about Israel's genocide of Palestinians? Or is it still terrorism to speak that?

Is it going to be called the Ministry of Truth? Or did they at least have the self awareness to come up with something less on-the-nose?
