Viscount Camrose (Con)
Disinformation is a deliberate falsehood. A difference of opinion is generally something of democratic importance or of journalistic or pluralistic importance, which it is very important to protect and which the Online Safety Act took very considerable measures to safeguard over its passage.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)
My Lords, does this unit check on government disinformation such as the Rwanda Bill?
Viscount Camrose (Con)
I do not believe that this unit has been working on the Rwanda Bill.
