BBC Verify - protecting you from the truth

Conspiracies causing real world harm NOT conspiracy theorists

- IAIN DAVIS

WITH great fanfare, the BBC has launched BBC Verify. The state broadcaster's very own disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, announced its arrival live on UK TV.

She explained that the BBC would verify videos, fact check, and counter 'disinformation'. So rest assured, no one needs to think about anything; The BBC will fact check everything for us and tell us what the truth is.

Apparently, it really matters that the BBC acts as the UK government's official arbiter of truth because, according to Spring, 'mistruths' can 'cause really serious harm to society'.

Spring has yet to define 'harm' but that doesn't really matter. The government hasn't either, despite the fact that it has placed its vague concept of harm at the centre of its equally ambiguous Online Safety Bill, the proposed state censorship legislation that Spring is very keen to promote.

She is very concerned about, what she calls, social media disaster trolls. She is seemingly referring to people who understand that the government is among those that often rely upon false flag terrorist attacks when they want to pass oppressive surveillance legislation or justify their next war.

'Disaster trolls,' she alleges, 'cause realworld harm' - by questioning the often implausible and contradictory accounts of people involved in false flag terrorist attacks, presumably.

Spring hasn't clarified whether disaster trolls are the people who ask questions or those who abuse others online. To be fair, that distinction is probably moot, because it appears Spring, the BBC and the government want to silence everyone who disagrees with them.
