Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation

Petition Details

We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

Additional Information

Create a people’s consultation to drive debate on the following areas:

- Safeguarding free expression
- Promoting digital literacy
- Accountability of media platforms
- Accountability of individuals, ministers, the media, and tech
- The effects of AI and algorithms on our national narrative
- Regulation of news publishers
- Potential financial incentives of inciting division

We believe we must learn and act to protect our democracy.
