We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

Create a people’s consultation to drive debate on the following areas: - Safeguarding free expression - Promoting digital literacy - Accountability of media platforms - Accountability of individuals, ministers, the media, and tech - The effects of AI and algorithms on our national narrative - Regulation of news publishers - Potential financial incentives of inciting division We believe we must learn and act to protect our democracy.
