	Description:		Libertarian think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, which is typically aligned with the coalition, has lashed the federal government over plans to create a misinformation code of practice. The plan, unveiled by the government earlier this year, would give the Australian Communications and Media Authority power to create and enforce a misinformation codes of practice that could force social media giants to pull down posts deemed harmful or false. The IPA sent a letter to MPs complaining the move would kickstart an era of unprecedented internet censorship. Today on Please Explain, technology editor Nick Bonyhady joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss misinformation, particularly in relation to truth in political advertising and false claims being spread on social media.
