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”.
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.
