Fake News Act

New technologies have transformed the world. Almost twenty years ago we were fascinated by the sources of information that we had at our disposal, which we could suddenly learn, how little strength we had to acquire lessons and what independent and diverse sources of information. The feeling of suffocation can be overcome for those who no longer know how to breed, for those who do not know how to distinguish between good and bad.

We may be concerned about the future of young generations, one of whose characteristics is to be a believer; however, they are able to learn and internalize the right ways of doing. That was demonstrated a few weeks ago by a professor. He shared on the network the program carried out in the school group, making detailed use of the technique, the material, making available to all of them and emphasizing that young generations can, in the near future, develop a vision and a critical attitude to face the wave of data. He spent a lot of time capturing fakenews (fake news) through basic principles: to monitor the date of publication of photos, data or articles, to identify the source, to contrast with other sources and above all to be patient in predicting the confirmation of the facts. In other words, he has taught them not to believe everything he has told them.

One and the other opt for education.

In the coming weeks, driven by Emmanuel Macron, the so-called Fake News Act is being debated in parliament. As we have good memory, we remember that in the presidential campaign Macron himself – and many others – had “problems” with what is known as #macronleaks, among other things: that he had offshore money, that he was an American agent at the service of the lobbies of the banks and I know what else. Of course, he denounced the conspiracy, the Russian intervention and the rumor that some of us had taken the blame for the pleasures through the net during the Friday snack. Lots of smoke, but no fire? Since then, journalists who head to the Elysée Palace have been rigorously chosen, excluding non-subjects.

Well, it'll fix it soon. The law to be cited in the French Parliament, which goes far beyond the recent establishment of the “content directorate” in Germany, which will allow strict control of the information to be disseminated – only at the moment in electoral time, so that the scandals do not influence the results. If approved, the law provides for compulsory cooperation of internet and social media providers, a quick complaint mechanism, the blocking of foreign media if the State was “threatened”, the clearing of websites and accounts. To do so, I would have a judge expressly. They say that to secure our freedoms. The State is required to protect its rights, something that has so far done so little. Freedom does not need the view of the State. Freedom needs education.

If we did not know that we are in the Macron regime, the figure of an impacted lehendakari, the control of consciences and freedoms, the denunciation, forced collaboration, we might think that we are with Petain.

This law may be voted on with a silent but large majority and, from there, what, according to the experts, goes against the law of independence of the press of 1881, would lack little of exceptionality to perseverance, such as the state of emergency.

Living well in Vichy can get here sooner than you think.
