When organization spreads misinformation and doesn’t take it back, but stubbornly continues to spread it, this is an immoral act - Kadagishvili

When organization spreads misinformation and doesn’t take it back, but stubbornly continues to spread it, this is an immoral act. Such a statement made today Irakli Kadagishvili, MP from the Georgian Dream.

“I think there should be a certain culture and standards of behavior to call misinformation - misinformation and its exposure to be very high. We have some steps to take in this direction. If this is not done, everything will sink into the mire of misinformation and eventually people will no longer believe that democracy and freedom of speech have any value.

This is what kills freedom of speech, freedom of democratic choice and prepares society for inevitable confrontation.

If there is a need to adopt a law somewhere along this path of development, we should adopt it, because legality determines the rules of the game. It’s not about someone having questions about an event, it’s a normal story. It is about when misinformation and lies are spread purposefully and deliberately.

When any person or organization spreads misinformation and does not take it back, but stubbornly continues to spread misinformation - this is an immoral act”, - said Irakli Kadagishvili.
