Misleading social media content should be brought to light so the full extent of the problem can be recognised, a coalition of Australian tech and health experts have argued.

Who checks the fact checkers? And who checks them?

Ah, the technofascists: 'we grossly misread and overstated the Covid problem with dodgy models and compounded that with terrible tests, but, hey - have faith in us and give us more power over your lives'. scamdemic Plandemic AIER Aug 20 2020:

Like politicians lying? Or does this only target the hoi polloi?
