"Signatories should not be compelled by governments or other parties to remove content solely on the basis of its alleged falsity if the content would not otherwise be unlawful"
So it sounds like the code does not apply to governments and political parties for implementing the misinformation rules but the signatories must remove content of even political parties if it violates the code on their platforms?
When the level of stupid on the internet is resulting in a moron with a semi automatic rifle walking into a pizza resturant looking for a pedophile ring in a cellar that does not exist, is that when stupid becomes a matter of public safety ?
