The plan has sparked concerns over who defines “fake news.”
Not content with its efforts to limit free speech on social media platforms, Britain’s new Labour government is also gearing schools up to “arm our children against … disinformation.”
After last week’s riots, prompted by the Southport stabbing, ministers will now include plans “to embed critical skills in lessons” in the next curriculum review, due next year. These will see pupils as young as five given what the government describes as the “knowledge and skills” to spot “disinformation” online.
