Former President Barack Obama has called for “digital fingerprints” to be mandatory online to help authorities censor so-called “misinformation.”

In a new interview, Obama suggested the development of new technology to track and identify people online to combat “disinformation.”

He argues that such a move would help to remove “misleading” news from the Internet and provide consumers with only “true” information.

Obama sat down with his former White House senior adviser David Axelrod for a conversation on the latter’s podcast, “The Axe Files,” on CNN Audio.
