From his well paid column in a highly circulated right-wing tabloid, Peter Hitchens "fears for his freedom of speech". As I'm the target of the bile today, let's be clear... nobody wants to censor the Mail on Sunday... dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
... but we do have the right to lobby Twitter/Facebook/Youtube and the advertisers to label disinformation, deprioritise it in the algorithm and demonetise grifters making money from science denial...
... if you don't understand the relationship between the fascists and conspiraloons and their mainstream media enablers, read Arendt...
... the far right always operates with core, periphery, sympathisers and willing media dupes... and the latter can always have clean hands because they were only exercising freedom of speech and asking awkward questions...
...so don't worry about the Mail. It will be fine. So will Hitchens, Young etc... but Ofcom should review the licence o outlets pushing lockdown defiance, and the tech cos should label false claims, and the state should regulate them.... it's all mainstream social democracy rlly
