World Service must be fully state-funded to counter disinformation, say BBC bosses
Ministers must cover full costs of championing western values abroad, senior BBC figures to argue
Keep public funding: yes
Keeping the Director General a political appointee: Hell no!
Is this the same propaganda outlet?
Countering disinfo? lmao.
Yea, it's an excuse to get paid to push their own narrative. Status quo protection
You know you live in a corrupted world when such things are true
I think the best option would be to impose some hefty limitations on social media, maybe even banning it outright. Several studies have shown that social media is mainly bad for people's mental health, as well as being the primary vector for spreading misinformation. The internet needs to go back to being decentralized.

That's a fascist move all in itself, in a way. Also, if anything can actually spark a revolution these days, it's that. I don't think today's people would give a single fuck if you started putting them in camps, but I would bet my butthole they would riot if you took away their social media. It's basically an entire identity of two whole generations.
