Social media undeniably plays a highly influential role in public life and opinion. As such, we should take its increasing obsession with censoring sensible opinions very seriously — especially on the matter of the Government’s response to the coronavirus.
Another example of Facebook’s meddling has been presented by talkRADIO presenter Mike Graham, whose latest interview with Peter Hitchens was flagged up by the powerful social media platform for ‘missing context’.
‘Independent fact-checkers say that this information could mislead people’.
As Mr. Hitchens has commented in response, ‘Power hates dissent’. This is not an issue we should make light of.
