In this context, it\u2019s important to remember that the most enthusiastic dealers of Fake News have always been governments themselves, usually assisted by loyal media.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfight against Fake News\u201d was really never a fight against fake news, not as such. Rather, it is a systemic attack on the technological ability of new voices, those not of the establishment, to be heard <em>at all<\/em> \u2014 voices that were previously not granted a platform by the old guard, those who were previously not granted permission to speak, but who don\u2019t have to ask the old guard\u2019s permission anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Macron isn\u2019t fighting <em>against<\/em> fake news with a censorship measure like this. He\u2019s fighting for the power to <em>monopolize<\/em> fake news.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate this, one recent example of <em>Fake News<\/em> which resulted in over a million dead, was the lie that Iraq had so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). In this, all the governments bent over backwards in unison to contradict the most reliable UN reports on the matter, assisted by a loyal media to fabricate a war based on something we know today to be a complete fabrication. A lie, by any other name. \u201cFake News\u201d is really too kind.<\/p>\n<p>The measure would allow judges to block content deemed false during a three-month period preceding an election, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/06\/06\/world\/europe\/macron-france-fake-news.html\">according to the New York Times<\/a>. Theoretically, this would give some separation of power; in practice, the French establishment is notorious for holding each other\u2019s backs across offices \u2014 as illustrated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dreyfus_affair\">Dreyfus affair<\/a> a century ago; little has changed in France in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s noteworthy, though, that Macron\u2019s initiative isn\u2019t just targeting this \u201cnew and horrible Internet\u201d, which isn\u2019t anywhere new anymore, but also the old-style newspapers: yes, those our grandparents used to buy. (Think of them as one-day-old printouts of news sites \u2014 why somebody would want that today is a bit of a guess, but they\u2019re still out there for the 80-year-old French politicians who can\u2019t break habits.)<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be surprised if this French censorship-of-embarrassing-news-before-elections law passes.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy remains your own responsibility. So does freedoms of speech and information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French president Macron, in an attempt to have the Power of Narrative stay with the offline-born old guard, is pushing a law that will reintroduce regular news censorship\u00a0\u2014 even in old-style newspapers\u00a0\u2014 in the period of time three months immediately before an election, in an effort to combat so-called \u201cFake News\u201d.
