There's no need to create a ministry of truth ... just a ministry of information technology.

And all it does is heavily regulate any company that handles large amounts of people's data and communications.

There shouldn't be an argument of what people say on the internet ... there should be a serious conversation about whether we should freely allow private companies to handle, process or manage so much personal data without regulation or public control.

Not having this conversation means that we are giving up the freedom and management of the internet and by extension our democratic society to private corporations.
