Orwellian dystopia edges ever closer. Fake news, misinformation, disinformation and whatever term they come up with next to stay relevant. When people get arrested for posting lies or assumptions on the internet I think we’re heading in the wrong direction. It’s not exactly his fault social media idiots jumped on it, but I guess it’s much easier for authorities to tackle the symptoms and not the root of the problem.
