The UK government, under Labour leadership, is considering a proposal to require tech giants to ban fake news from their platforms in response to recent riots.
This move has sparked concerns among users about potential censorship and the lack of clarity on who will determine what constitutes fake news.
Critics argue that this could restrict free speech and question the government’s ability to accurately identify and regulate harmful content.
The proposal has been compared to authoritarian measures, with some users expressing skepticism about the government’s role in deciding what is considered fake news.
