@thefreespeechunion: The Government is spreading misinformation about misinformation in order to justify mass censorship on social media. The argument that mis- and disinformation is to blame for political division and unrest in society has been repeated so often that it has acquired the status of fact. Earlier this year, the Government released a green paper called Watch This Space proposing that social media platforms should be legally obliged to promote "trustworthy" news sources to the top of users' feeds. This is primarily public broadcasters like the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4. In other words, the Government wants to control the information you see. These proposals have been met with fierce opposition from the Trump administration and the senior US Congressman Jim Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee. If this did not sound dystopian enough already, FSU Policy and Research Director David Rose has written a report exposing how the Government has used dubious evidence to justify its call for mass censorship, whilst ignoring strong evidence which contradicts its claims. It is much easier to blame the likes of Elon Musk for the political division in society. Michelle O'Neill, the Sinn Féin First Minister of Northern Ireland, held Elon Musk responsible for the riots in Belfast that followed the video of a Sudanese migrant allegedly attempting to murder a local man by repeatedly knifing him. Keir Starmer also claimed there were people "trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets". It seems that our political leaders fail to consider that perhaps the public are just witnessing events unfolding around them, rather than being maliciously fed misinformation? The FSU will not allow the Government to get away with this unnoticed.

'trusted sources' means you will only consume information that the Government selects or creates. Dangerous
