Hoaxes on the web, Beppe Grillo attacks the Antitrust laws: the “Post truth, as the new inquisition” – The Republic

BEPPE Grillo is attacking the president of the Antitrust Giovanni Pitruzzella after the interview released today on the Financial Times on hoaxes on the web and on the need of “a network of independent national bodies able to identify and remove the false news”. To the guarantor “the Post-truth politics is one of the driver of populism and a threat to our democracy”. Grillo condemns the words of the Pitruzzella from his blog: “the Post-truth, as the new inquisition. Pitruzzella is not a crazy loner”. Are “all united against the web: now that n obody reads the most newspapers and who reads them does not believe their bales, the new inquisitors, they want a court to control and condemn those who scratch”, we read in the post that opens with an image in which Customers, Renzi and Napolitano, ‘condemn’ the former comic.

“But we don’t stop,” says Grillo. “Half way,” he said in the delirium of omnipotence and ignorance, full of as functions on the web, saying that ‘the post-truth politics is one of the catalysts of populism and a threat to our democracies’”. “The interview is interesting, observes the leader M5s – when Pitruzzella explains how to fight the post-truth: ‘we have to decide whether to leave the internet as it is, the wild west, or if to regulate it. I think that these rules go defined by the State. It is not the duty of private entities to control the information, this is of state powers: they must ensure that the information is correct. Translated means that they want to make a beautiful tribunal of the inquisition, controlled by the parties of the government, that decides what is true and what is false. Try to imagine the scene.”

replica Pitruzzella. “My – replied to Grillo, the president of the Antitrust – it is not a proposal that aims to create forms of censorship, but to strengthen the protection of rights in the Network”. “If we want to control the political power,” he added, Pitruzzella – if we want to highlight what is wrong with politicians and people of the economy are, we must have a Network that is credible. And to be credible, we must have mechanisms that can serve to get rid of the buffaloes. The buffaloes don’t need it, democracy is a system of transparency, but because there is transparency it is necessary that the information is true, otherwise there is the fog. And the mist is not beneficial to the democracy”.

Orfini: “the Attack on the people of the buffalo”. “Dear Beppe Grillo, no one attacks the
network. We attack the scoundrels that the flood of hoaxes and lies. By the way, know any?”. Is the irony on the Twitter account of the president of the Pd, Matteo Orfini, in response to the post of the leader M5s.
