    The biggest question for me, is who determines what’s misinformation? Honestly, it’s determined by someone with a bias as to what is real information, and what is false. What if it was the Republicans in the US making that decision? It would completely change what’s considered misinformation. This is where the dangers of censoring misinformation come in. It’s all about who is making the decisions. Sure, you may agree with the people making the decisions now, but what about in 5, 10 years?

      The beheaded babies thing is a good example. People called it misinformation for days, but today they were forced to release images of the dead babies because nobody believed multiple independent journalists from different countries.
