It's a difficult one which has to be well thought out and debated. It's a fine line between state censorship and state enforcement on internet providers and content providers of it's social responsibilities. In the end it all come's down to empowering people to understand how to navigate the online world. Which will only happen with better education particularly most digital skills are still way too much about how it works and not how to understand what your looking at and how your online actions can effect others.
On the anti vac thing the NHS are really concerned they recently did a lot of work into what was really going on and what they need to do it counter it. They have accepted that they have been slow and don't do enough online to counter it. The work also highlighted the need to train staff so they can better inform people who see stuff online. E.g many see don't give your kid that it has x in which is a poison. It may have but it's so tiny it's not an issue. Many staff may not even know the fine detail how much we are really talking about. so can't really explain and put fear to rest. The vac training is all about the clinical stuff and which ones you need, when, stock management and who can and can't have them. That not saying it's too basic as it's not. Vac's are much more than a quick jab. But it has little about how to counter act much of the misinformation other than saying it's safe and don't worry. A lot of the anti stuff is why more than that taking fewer to a whole new level. Much of it look's to many on the face of it really detailed "science" so must be true. The don't worry message wont cut though you need to match it with an even better true science reply in a way that they can understand.
