Minister calls bill demanding digital platforms publicly correct false information ‘good news for democracy’
Spain’s leftwing government has announced a bill extending a requirement to publish corrections to posts by digital platforms and social media influencers in an attempt to fight disinformation.
“We’re making life more difficult for those who dedicate themselves to lies and spreading fake news every day, and, therefore, it is good news for democracy,” Bolaños added.
Consumer rights association FACUA welcomed the announcement, saying it allowed people to “undertake measures in defence of their honour”.
Necessary I'm afraid... But it's a very slippery slope.
Who decides what fake is…..
Exactly.. It's whatever party and political ideologies are in power
This is a ministry of truth in the making to qwell dissent.
It would be way more effective to educate people on the value of citing and not to believe something just because other people do.
That's working really well all across Europe and the US right now...
Who is deciding what is "true"?
I see - it's worded oddly but it's about defamation not just disinformation broadly.
This is absolute garbage, you purple-haired, fat-ass, ignorant waste of space. This shit is only for those influencer douches to milk their followers, not for newspapers that are already drowning in a cesspool of deception. This government is the most corrupt, bribe-guzzling, ethically void clusterfuck since 1978, but you wouldn't get it, you flag-waving, brain-dead American shitstain. You spew nothing but digital sewage because you're too polarized. And let's talk about your mod powers spread across your pathetic multiple accounts - you're nothing but a sad, power-mad little troll, herding your accounts in that autistic, woke-infested cesspit you call a platform. Each of your mod accounts is a unique blend of idiocy, strutting around like some digital Napoleon, enforcing your nonsense rules, all while surrounded by a horde of virtue-signaling, woke niggas who'd be scared shitless of an actual thought. You're all just a parade of clown-faced, diversity-touting, intellectually bankrupt morons. And let's be real, even if you paid for a prostitute, you wouldn't get to see a naked woman - they'd probably just laugh and take your money for the entertainment value

Jesus what a cringy comment
It's the latest alt of Lemmy's longest-term persistent troll, just disregard. They've got nothing better to do, and everything they post is basically what they say to themselves in the mirror every morning.
I wish lemmy made it easier to see censored comments so we didn't have to sift through the modlog for them.
Something like discord's blocked messages would be great, where we can click on the message to see it if we want.
I read through this comment and it wasn't breaking any rules.
