Labelling Bots on Social Media

Labelling Bots on Social Media

Labelling bot accounts on social media platforms just makes sense.

It wouldn’t ban content or censor free speech, it would just mean that when you go onto social media, you’re informed about what posts and comments are being made by real people, and which ones are made by robots.

It’s the same principle why I want better digital literacy education. We should be giving people the tools to understand the information they’re seeing, rather than blanket bans on content and the government choosing what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
