Federico Dal Cortivo for Italiasociale.net interviews Enrica Perucchietti, author of the essay «Fake News. From the manipulation of public opinion to post-truth. How power controls the media and fabricates information to obtain consensus" released yesterday, 19 March, for Arianna Editrice.
D: Dr. Perucchietti, his essay comes out almost concurrently with the Interior Ministry's announcement that the new online service for reporting fake news will be launched in view of the political elections ( fake news), the citizen will only need to enter the new Postal Police website, and click on a virtual red button and «report news that in our opinion seems to be hoaxes». His first impression on how the "new public service" will work and whether it will have an impact on the upcoming political elections, from the publication of memorials against opponents to fake news one could say…
R: The discussion is very delicate. In a nutshell, however we can think that in the future it could be used as a data collection and on the other as a censorship system to muzzle the web by progressively aiming to censor inconvenient sites and alternative information. I believe that this service is part of an increasingly aggressive campaign against fake news which, however, does not have the objective of protecting public opinion, as much as social control.
Once the reports have been received, a dedicated team from Cnaipic, a specialized body of the Postal Police will carefully verify through the use of specific techniques and software e, in case of proven unfoundedness, will publish a denial. How, I wonder, it will be decided which contents are true and which are false? How far will this system go?? We don't know. However, we know that in Europe the war on fake news is becoming increasingly heated and there are still few researchers, intellectuals and journalists are opposing all this. Something similar, Indeed, it is also happening in France: in the press conference at the beginning of the year, Macron has announced a bill to combat fake news and strengthen control of content on the internet during the election period.

There is a blood red thread that connects Syria to China passing through Palestine. A thread that winds through mountainous landscapes of the province of Idlib, continues among the Palestinian refugee camps, to reach the northern region of Xinjiang. The Uyghurs live here, a Turkic ethnic group of Islamic religion, always in open conflict with the Beijing regime, accused of racial and religious persecution.
