“This is an attack on democracy.” On this week’s episode of the FSU Podcast, the General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, is joined by comedian and free speech campaigner @andrewdoyle_com. They discuss a little-noticed, government-commissioned report on misinformation and its implications for public debate. The report’s Orwellian proposals include “psychological inoculation”, “pre-bunking” and game-based “interventions” designed to steer the public towards state-approved political messages. It seeks to tackle so-called “misinformation” — what we would simply call the truth. One example cited in the report is the claim that Olympic boxer Imane Khelif is a man. Andrew Doyle and Lord Young also discuss: • Why Andrew and Graham Linehan are working from Arizona. • The Government’s plan to force social media platforms to give greater prominence to approved “trustworthy” news sources such as the BBC and Channel 4 News.
