EDITORIAL
This Pandemic has demonstrated how quickly our individual liberties can be taken away, even in Liberal Democracies
Governments have given themselves emergency powers, the implications of which many of us don’t understand. These powers and secret indemnities remove accountability for serious harm and mismanagement.
In this environment, we’ve also witnessed tight control of information and Mainstream media and Big Tech have emerged as effective enablers.
So why would we think the Governments would stand up for freedom of expression, or fight BIG TECH and media censorship?
During Covid19, the focus of concern in this country is not hate-speech but misinformation and its danger to public health.
But the arbiters of misinformation – Government, Mainstream media and Big Tech have been the greatest promoters of misinformation during a pandemic – all in the name of public interest.
Houston, we’ve got a problem!
