it is arguable whether censorship - by which I mean deliberate suppression of a truth, whether by a government or say Murdoch - is worse than getting people into a frame of mind where they neither know nor care whether a story is true, but it is, I think, outside the scope of this thread unless we are talking specific Brexit examples.

But there is one form of censorship I am very much in favour of: never share a Facebook post or newspaper link unless you are personally prepared to defend its accuracy. Any of us may receive fake news but if we pass it on, we are responsible for it, not the originator.
