《卫报》关于俄罗斯虚假信息的观点——一种依赖英国串通的外国威胁（9月23日）——认为安迪·伯纳姆对克里姆林宫的警告只讲了一半的故事，这是正确的。我要更进一步：虚假信息是未能广泛监管那些现在充当关键国家基础设施的平台的症状。
The Guardian view on Russian disinformation: a foreign threat that relies on UK complicity, 23 September ) is right that Andy Burnham’s warning about the Kremlin only tells half the story. I would go further: disinformation is one symptom of a wider failure to regulate the platforms that now function as critical national infrastructure.
这些危害在广泛的领域显而易见。我们知道，由参与度驱动的信息流正在损害年轻人的心理健康。正如你们对贝尔法斯特和南安普顿骚乱的分析所表明的那样，承载外国宣传的同一种放大机制，也在加速国内的极右翼激进化。新一代可穿戴设备（如Meta的智能眼镜）使得在未经他人知情或同意的情况下对其进行录音成为日常生活的一部分。
The harms are evident across a wide spectrum. We know that engagement-driven feeds are damaging young people’s mental health. The same amplification mechanics that carry foreign propaganda also accelerate far-right radicalisation at home, as your analysis of the disorder in Belfast and Southampton showed. The new generation of wearable devices, such as Meta’s smart glasses, makes recording people without their knowledge or consent a routine part of life.
是的，政府必须加大对虚假信息的应对力度，但仅此是不够的。从传播有害内容中获利的平台需要面临真正的后果：可执行的注意义务、与其规模相称的惩罚，以及关于其算法如何决定我们看到的内容的透明度。
Yes, the government must step up its response to disinformation, but this alone is not enough. Platforms that profit from spreading harmful content need to face real consequences: enforceable duties of care, penalties proportionate to their scale, and transparency about how their algorithms decide what we see.
我的职业生涯一直在支付行业度过，在这个规模下运营的基础设施绝不允许在没有明确规则、独立监督以及在出错时承担责任的情况下运行。没有充分的理由对塑造数百万人信仰的这些平台实行较低的标准。
I have spent my career in the payments industry, where infrastructure operating at this scale would never be allowed to run without clear rules, independent oversight and liability when things go wrong. There is no good reason to hold these platforms that shape what millions of people believe to a lower standard.
打击克里姆林宫的水军至关重要，但在这些平台对其在社会各个阶层中放大的内容负责之前，我们将继续只是治标而不是治本。阿尼特·莫拉尔 伦敦
Tackling the Kremlin’s bot armies matters, but until these platforms are held responsible for what they amplify, across every segment of society, we will keep treating the symptoms rather than the cause. Aneet Morar London
