The Rise and Risk of Misinformation Laws

Between 2010 and 2022, over 80 countries enacted legislation designed to combat the spread of “fake news” and disinformation (Bradshaw et al. 2424). While these measures are often portrayed as essential to social and technological advances, such as the viral spread of rumors on social media and the emergence of deepfakes, evidence suggests that political motives frequently outweigh genuine concerns for public order. By weaponing the term “fake news,” many regimes have created systems that prioritize the consolidation of power over the protection of truth.

Caught in the Filter: How Social Media Moderation Silences Marginalized Voices

Social media platforms claim to protect users from harm–but for many marginalized communities, those same systems are doing the opposite. Researchers and advocacy groups have shown that speech by women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, and religious minorities are censored or removed disproportionately. In contrast, harassment against these groups is often ignored (Diaz and Hecht-Felella). Content moderation systems on major social media platforms disproportionately silence marginalized voices because of structural flaws in how these systems are designed and enforced. This report examines the historical context, mechanisms, case studies, and reform proposals related to these disparate outcomes.

Who Has the Best Answer to the Anarchists?

The state has never asked for your permission. It was there before you were born, it will be there after you die, and in between it will tax you, conscript you, imprison you if you disobey, and call all of this legitimate. That word — legitimate — is doing an enormous amount of work. Strip it away, and what remains is an institution that compels obedience through force and calls it duty. Philosophical anarchists have noticed this contradiction, and they want you to notice it too.
