PM Lee says netizens are led astray by untruths. True or Not?

[Confuseous]

"And we have to do our best to counter this, to prevent untruths from circulating and being repeated 5, 10, 20 times, from leading people astray, and after a while, you’ve heard it so often, you can’t remember where you saw it, but it must be true; but it’s not."

- PM Lee, National Day Speech

So allergic has the establishment been to bloggers that, as recently as 2009, public universities were compelled to distance themselves from a workshop organised to promote responsible blogging, originally planned with their support.

Thus, PM Lee’s wish for open, balanced and reasonable online spaces requires a cultural change on the part of the establishment as well. The government will need to find within itself the capacity to respect the role of independent websites as convenors of Singapore’s online politics.

What is he talking about??

Liars never use words like "LIE, LIES, LIAR, LYING" They use "UNTRUTH", just like prostitutes never use the word "CHICKEN, AYAM, KUE". Same with old shit telling people they are 86 years young instead of 86 years old because the elixir of life just had not been found!

This is a no-brainer question - True - of course - especially in this forum. The amount of "untruths" spilled out of this forum is more than all the garbage collected from Metropolitan Manila.
