Creating a Ministry of Truth to prevent propaganda seems counterproductive.


Brought to you by the same people who spend a lot of money to combat inflation


Which specific act are you referring to?


We should just get rid of section 230.


"Never again" is what you swore, the time before.


Nothing done or proposed even slightly represents a ministry of truth.


Instead of determining what is true they will instead determine what is false...

How does that not slightly represent a ministry of truth?


Isn't focusing on what's proven false better than attempting to determine what is true? Are you saying it's impossible to determine if something proven objectively false is false?

Also it's worth point no arbitration of "true/false" occurred, the use cases were fraud spamming etc.


A Department of Disinformation is totally different. We're not trying to define what truth is, we're trying to define what it isn't, which is absolutely not equivalent. If you say it is equivalent, you will be banned for spreading disinformation.


Are you saying it's impossible to say if something objectively false is false?
