The Truth is whatever we say it is…..

Government to introduce laws to combat misinformation, disinformation…………..In Australia.

The federal government has pledged to introduce new laws to help reduce the spread of harmful content on social media, as the world’s most powerful tech companies try to combat the deluge of misinformation and disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine online.

Communications Minister Paul Fletcher is planning to introduce legislation that will give Australia’s media watchdog more regulatory power over tech companies who fail to meet the standards of a voluntary misinformation and disinformation code of practice.

Communications Minister Paul Fletcher has announced plans to introduce legislation this year to combat harmful disinformation and misinformation online. RENEE NOWYTARGER

Under the code, misinformation is defined as false or misleading information that is likely to cause harm, while disinformation is false or misleading information that is distributed by users via spam and bots.”

Some background first.

Wretchard introduced an Elon Musk tweet to this video with the comment:

Naturally such a line caught my attention.

This was how Musk introduced the video:

Pretty good summary, although national pride is underweighted relative to economics. Latter serves former, not other way around.

The foundational issue imo, which this video doesn’t ignore, is low birth rate. After all, what good is land with no people?

This video definitely fits with my following of history and, if true, fills in more than one blank. Definitely worth a half hour at normal speed, or at least 18 minutes at 175%. As for the death toll potential of the conflict, I see no world leader opposed to a large body count.
