Blog by @jsecker & I on recent H of Lords report: “A country’s education system needs to prepare its people for their role as citizens. In the digital world, this means they need to be empowered to be critical, digitally literate consumers of information” https://www.informall.org.uk/blog/digital-technology-resurrection-of-trust/

1/4 H of Lords Democracy & Digital Technologies Cttee report raises huge points about teaching critical media literacy (i.e. #infolit) in schools. Report highlights inadequacies of curriculum & calls for urgent change @Sarahinthelib @emoorse01 @NickPoole1 https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/407/democracy-and-digital-technologies-committee/news/147121/democracy-under-threat-from-pandemic-of-misinformation-online-say-lords-committee/

Well-informed societies depend on availability & understanding of solid evidence, and evidence in turn depends on transparency & opennes. New campaign from @senseaboutsci calls for this, at a time when govts are not always as open as they ought to be https://senseaboutscience.org/transparency-matters/

I really worry that what lurks in the hearts of many of my compatriots is "I hate the "other lot" so much that I am willing to forgive any amount of incompetence on the part of "my lot", even at the cost of many lives". That is not citizenship.
