We need to fight against the 'fake news' crackdown that's emerged after the recent US election.
Think about it for a second, who is getting to decide which stories are fake and which stories are real? Do the groups doing this content filtering have their own pro-corporate agendas to push? If we don't start exposing their biases in determining what 'fake news' is we'll end up giving those in power a means to silence dissent.
I'm all for fact checking and verification, but it needs to be managed by the people, not by corporate or government interests.
