Facebook and Twitter threatened with sanctions in UK 'fake news' inquiry
 
Facebook and Twitter threatened with sanctions in UK 'fake news' inquiry.

Quote:

Chair of parliamentary committee gives firms a deadline to hand over information about Russian misinformation campaigns.

Facebook and Twitter could face sanctions if they continue to stonewall parliament over Russian interference in the EU referendum, the chair:disgust of a Commons inquiry has said.

Damian Collins, chair of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport select committee, which is looking into so-called ?fake news?, has given the companies until 18 January to correct their failure to hand over information he requested about Russian misinformation campaigns on their platforms.
It begs the question, should corporations be subject to the laws of the countries they operate in?

I love the way she says white genocide matter-of-factly, like it's an inevitability.

We're coming, Yvette. Be worried.

George Soros needs to be banned from interfering

If they even tried banning facebook here there would be riots on the streets. It's became a way of life for people. The government has no power in this area and the social sites know it.

That's the danger. But should media be free of the laws? So online scams, terrorism, trolling are legal?

I think, must be the balance between freedom and control. Online scams, terrorism, trolling - better for me than control like in NK.

CP was ok in one country where a company calls home, should they be able to make money in countries that outlaw it?
