In the modern era, who holds the right to truth?
<p>Hardly a week goes by without a new piece of <strong>misinformation </strong>circulating online, from the freshet of conspiracy theories unleashed by the attempt on former US president Donald Trump's life to Elon Musk tweeting the far right's false claim that the United Kingdom has a two-tier policing policy. Truth is under attack, and people know it. According to a recent global survey conducted by the United Nations, more than 85% of respondents were worried about the impact of online <strong>disinformation</strong>.</p>
