Amazing misinformation on social media. Read #FullFact and get some reality on the #emergencyalert

2022 was a damaging year for standards in UK public debate:

● As many as 50 MPs, including two Prime Ministers, Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet Ministers, failed to correct false, unevidenced or misleading claims, despite
repeated calls from Full Fact to do so
● The statistics regulator had to write to the UK Government at least 10 times to challenge it on its use of statistics or other data

Did you know...

In the UK Full Fact fights bad information and campaigns for higher standards from politicians, the media, and in our shared information landscape. Last year we published 624 fact checks
and requested more than 180 corrections. #fullfact #accountable #transparent

"Will Moy, chief executive at fact-checking charity Full Fact, said he knew of "no reason" for there to be "a general block on Mastodon".

"It is concerning that a vitally important social media company like Twitter"...

Sorry what? Important, maybe (once in the past). Vital? Certainly not. And recent events have proved that. #FullFact, that's sloppy. Get yourselves over here. #TwitterMigration
