    So then ban BBC and other state owned propaganda outlets. The BBC has been proven to spread disinformation about socialist countries and geopolitical adversaries to the west. Either commit to censoring disinformation, or commit to “free speech,” as it stands it’s just protecting fragile western narratives.

      RT are a whole other level of insane. They are like infowars. Nothing but lies, not a shred of fact in anything they report. BBC are nowhere near the same level

        Depends on the subject, actually. The BBC is more than happy to doctor footage and outright lie as long as it pertains to geopolitical adversaries. They frequently edit videos of China to give them a grayed-out filter, lmao.

        Also, as a side-note, try not to use “insane” in that way, it’s ableist when used as a pejorative.
