Sir Lindsay Hoyle: ‘Misinformation is dangerous’

Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle talks about misinformation, social media and what the government should do.

Speaking to 5 Live’s Matt Chorley, he said: “The government will have to think long and hard about what they’re going to do with social media.”

“Misinformation is dangerous. No misinformation or threats or intimidation should be allowed to be carried out on social media.”

5 Live asked X for a reply, and we received an automated response that simply said: “Busy now, please check back later.”
