>“That is an existential threat. A democracy starts to break down if the electors can’t trust what the elected say. Politicians opening their mouth == lying. Covid had an awful lot of lying from the government. Mass surveillance by the government. Political promises which arent kept are lies. But to give the sitting government the power to decide what is true and what is not will 100% of the time result in censorship of the opposition. It will force political speech underground and create a huge polarization problem, until mandatory revolution. I know this because im describing Canada.
