A European Commission (EC) official asserted that government “disinformation” censorship is essential to ensure individuals receive factual information at the World Economic Forum’s Davos conference on Thursday.
EC Vice-President for Values and Transparency Vera Jourová made the remarks during a discussion on “Defending Truth” with fellow panelists from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. The European Union (EU) has a regulatory agenda that cracks down on “disinformation” worldwide, as it applies to large online platforms that are incentivized to implement global policies.
“Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová asserted. “[The EU is] focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. Yeah? This is about the facts. We are taking [actions] at the EU level to equip the people with the facts so that they can make their autonomous choice.”
