Dear Luis, could you give a concrete example of how you propose to distinguish truth from lies when it comes to political issues?
<div class="ContentPasted0">If we identify truth with consistency, then the most truthful statements are those of a religious type. The statement "All is the will of Allah" cannot be verified in principle, it does not contradict anything and, therefore, is
absolutely true. The utterance has exactly the same structure: "Communists and Russia are to blame for all modern problems."</div>
What can we do with this in a post-truth situation, when the main flow of information is blurred statements, saturated with emotions, but devoid of logical structure?<br>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word">In scientific communities, evolving criteria for acceptable information goes on all the time and is

the concept of disinformation is completely subjective.
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">According to Shannon, lies (noise) this is irrelevant information. Relevance is compliance with the goals of the participants in the information transfer process. Any message is relevant (truthful) if it corresponds to the picture
of the world of the sender and recipient of the message. For example, a message about the existence of demons is truthful information for a believer in demons, but the same message is disinformation for an atheist.</div>
Declarations on combating disinformation are a reason for the introduction of stricter censorship by EU and EC officials. Obviously, if this project is implemented, special sensors will be assigned that will determine the level of reliability of messages and
punish messages that contradict the official picture of the world from EC officials<br class="">

Europa declares that fighting disinformation will be legal obligation.<br class="">
Let me ask some questions:<br class="">
- Who is able to recognize misinformation vs. information?<br class="">
- When misinformation is recognized, who is able to establish an<br class="">
intentional character, so that it is disinformation indeed?<br class="">
- Who will be in charge to do the tasks above?<br class="">
Well, in some simple cases disinformation can be recognized.<br class="">
Just curious, would we all agree when such of these cases is stated to<br class="">
have occurred?<br class="">
Better would be to massively educate people rather than to censor.<br class="">
All my best.<br class="">
