Are you posting about the shocking assassination attempt on Wednesday upon the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico? Well, a warning. You and the Big Tech platform you are posting on can be punished for spreading "disinformation' if the European Commission, the increasingly authoritarian cabinet government of the European Union, has its way.

On Thursday, Bloomberg published the warning of impending EU censorship on this topic in an article by Peter Chapman and Samuel Stolton in "EU Monitoring ‘Spread of Disinformation’ on Fico Shooting."

How about the EU state specifically what is misinformation/disinformation? I can guess: whatever is not the official “narrative”.

First of all, the Platform states: The following is all true.

That in itself is disinformation, and will be fined.

They aren’t going after “misinformation” about the assassination attempt, they are going after “malinformation,” information that is true but undermines the official ministry of truth narrative.

Are you talking about the sodomites in the EU or the ones on Dr. Who?

“How about the EU state specifically what is misinformation/disinformation? I can guess: whatever is not the official “narrative”.”

Misinformation is stating that the reason he shot Fico was because Fico was against the Ukraine War. Narrative is that Fico’s position of trying to prevent World War 3 had NOTHING to do with the guy shooting him - instead the guy was simply a kook with a gun.

At least that’s my take, but we’ll get the OFFICIAL narrative when the Operatives check-in on this thread.

I’d like to hire Wicked Witch of the West to paint a giant Middle Finger in the sky over wherever these little European Commission Stalins are having their meeting.
