I'm glad that someone is fighting misinformation. What scares me, is if the right wing in the US starts trying to do the same thing. Can you imagine them cracking down on Facebook, X, etc for misinformation like the EU is doing? It would only be Biden conspiracies and pro Trump propaganda allowed. Good thing we aren't giving our government that power.
Who gave unelected eurocrats or billionaire techbros the right to censor the internet and decide what is "disinformation"?
Ok, it's been 24 hours, anyone have an update?
Or else what, exactly? Until someone actually holds his feet.to the fire, the idiocy will continue.
I hate this word disinformation so much. We cannot censor any information on the internet even if it's a total bulshit. I'm on Lemmy cause there is no censorship and everyone should think about that nowadays. Anything you post online can have legal consequences and that's complete bulshit squared. #freespeach
There is a ton of censorship here, rightfully so. Lies must be stopped from spreading, they cause way too much damage. Most humans do not think critical enough to effectively filter out lies. This might be a inherent trait of humans. But even if we are critical enough, it is easy to drown out real information with a ton of misinformation.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
