And the dream and hope of a free and open internet suffers a death by a thousand cuts.<p>It seems like the powerful around the world are competing with each other to see who can censor and control the internet the most. And of course they all, to the last man, claim it is for the benefit of the people.

This is precisely why it is dangerous to let someone other than yourself decide what meets the criteria for &quot;fake news.&quot; It gives the decider an opportunity to manipulate public discourse.

&quot;The platform operates under the guidance of 27 government departments...&quot;<p>China loves bureaucracy.

From the video promoting the platform: &quot;Rumours violate individual rights; rumours create social panic; rumours cause fluctuations in the stock markets; rumours impact normal business operations; rumours blatantly attack revolutionary martyrs&quot;<p>One of these is not like the others... You&#x27;d think that &quot;attacking revolutionary martyrs&quot; would be in the government&#x27;s list of pros about rumors, not cons. Or at least so I&#x27;ve heard

How will this platform handle facts that are inconvenient for the moderating authority?
