What the petition asks
We call on the Government to launch a public inquiry into social media disinformation, focusing on foreign state influence. We want the inquiry to look into the impact that disinformation has on the views of the general public.
We are concerned about social media’s influence, and a lack of transparency. We feel it may be leading to widespread disinformation that is altering the general public’s views.
