SNP plan to tackle disinformation in the independence movement

SNP conference delegates will consider whether the party Code of Conduct should be changed to include rules on spreading disinformation

A PRO-independence group has proposed to alter the SNP Code of Conduct in a bid to ensure members do not spread fake news.

Out for Independence – the LGBT+ wing of the SNP – has put forward an internal motion to the SNP National Conference agenda in the hope of protecting a fresh independence campaign from the threat of disinformation.
