    False narratives or freedom of posting lies?

    "MP calls for investigation into 'false narratives'

    The chair of the UK's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Julian Knight MP, has called on communications watchdog Ofcom to investigate concerns foreign state-backed news organisations are “disseminating false narratives” about Covid-19 through social media.

    Earlier, the UK government criticised Russian state media use of “disinformation” after RIA Novosti reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson was on a ventilator.

    The prime minister’s official spokesman said: “That is disinformation. Our specialist government units have seen a rise in false and misleading narratives since the coronavirus pandemic started.

    "It’s vital that any disinformation is knocked down quickly.”"

    Mor On, what's your view on freedom to write false info for the benefit of the Russian Dictatorship?

              If RT ever tell the truth, it's only by accident. Certainly not by design.

                But who caused the accident?

                  Sounds like anyone can have freedom of speech as long as you don't disagree with your own government.

                    That's how it works in Russia, for sure.
