Giants, experts in censorship and manipulation fights misinformation. And surprisingly just before USA presidential campaign if I am not mistaken. Communists regime also was fighting misinformation and propaganda. Orwell was a visionary...

Agreed - almost hilarious that they (BBC, Facebook, etc) don't see the irony in what they are trying to do when they shovel the same shill all the time. The MSM has totally destroyed it's credibility in amazing efforts of blatant bias. Same for Twitter, FB, and on. Now they are trying to find someway to re-gain their legitimacy, because their checkbooks are running dry...
