Protectionism

Agree

Yes, there is too much fake news and misinformation on social media

Protectionism's core principle of safeguarding national interests can extend to the realm of information and misinformation. Regulating social media to combat fake news could be viewed as protecting the public from external misinformation campaigns, which can be seen as a form of economic and social protectionism. However, the score is not maximally positive because the ideology's primary focus is on economic measures rather than information regulation.

Agree

Yes

Protectionism, as an ideology, focuses on shielding a country's domestic industries from foreign competition. While this principle primarily applies to economic policies, it can extend to information regulation to protect national interests. Regulating social media to prevent fake news could be seen as a way to protect the public discourse from foreign misinformation campaigns. However, the ideology does not inherently prioritize information regulation over free market principles, leading to a moderate score.

Slightly agree

Yes, social media companies are politically biased and need to be regulated

Protectionism might support the regulation of social media companies if it is believed that these companies are biased against domestic interests or promote foreign interests. However, the ideology's main concern is with economic protectionism, not necessarily with media bias. The score reflects a slight agreement due to the potential alignment with protecting national interests but acknowledges that this is not the ideology's primary focus.

Slightly disagree

No

Protectionism generally advocates for government intervention in economic matters to protect domestic industries. However, its stance on government regulation of social media for content control is less clear, as it does not directly relate to economic protectionism. There might be a slight disagreement due to the emphasis on national sovereignty and the potential for such regulations to impede on free speech, which could be seen as a market principle.

Disagree

No, the government should not determine what is fake or real news

While protectionism advocates for government intervention in economic affairs, it does not necessarily support government control over what is considered fake or real news. The ideology's primary concern is protecting domestic industries, not regulating information or speech. There might be concerns that such government powers could be misused in ways that harm domestic interests or freedom of speech.

Disagree

No, social media companies are private and should not be regulated by the government

Protectionism focuses on protecting domestic industries from foreign competition through tariffs and trade barriers, not on regulating the content of private companies. The idea that social media companies, as private entities, should not be regulated by the government aligns more with free market principles than with protectionist ideology. Therefore, there's a disagreement, as protectionism does not typically advocate for the non-regulation of private entities unless it's to protect domestic industries.
