Internet Monopolist, Now Arbiter of Truth?
Google’s so-called “fact-checking tool” is reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984, and is “worse than censorship,” according to Claude Chollet, the president of the Observatory of Journalists and Media Resources, who spoke to Sputnik News on Monday.
“It’s worse than censorship. In fact, this is Orwell’s ‘1984’ with its Ministry of Truth, which says what is good and what’s bad. I believe that we are going straight to the point of total censorship,” Chollet said.
