政府网站透露，英国陆军的“信息战”部队在大流行期间监控了新冠疫情封锁的批评者。
第77旅(77 Brigade)是专门打击虚假信息和其他被认为对英国有害的在线活动的部队，协助其他政府部门完成这项任务。
公开的社交媒体帖子被仔细审查准确性，如果政府认为向公众提供的信息不正确、不准确或故意误导，则会受到质疑。
政府电视台是在回应《星期日邮报》的一篇文章时承认这一事实的。这篇文章是根据一名匿名军方举报人的报告和公民自由组织“老大哥观察”获得的文件撰写的。
周日，陆军检举人告诉《每日邮报》:“很明显，我们的活动导致了对英国人的监控……监控那些被吓到的普通人的社交媒体帖子”。
一位政府发言人说:“网上虚假信息对英国是一个严重威胁，这就是为什么在大流行期间，我们汇集了政府各部门的专业知识，来监控有关Covid的虚假信息。”
“这些部门使用了公开数据，包括社交媒体平台上分享的材料，来评估英国的虚假信息趋势和叙述。
“他们没有针对个人，也没有采取任何可能影响任何人自由讨论和辩论问题的能力的行动。”

数字、文化、媒体和体育部(DCMS)负责政府的反虚假信息战略。
然而，在大流行期间，政府对有害在线信息的应对主要是在国家紧急状态期间通过三个单独的部门进行的。
DCMS下属的反虚假信息部门搜索了被认为对英国有害的内容，然后将这些内容标记到社交媒体平台上。
内阁办公室于2020年3月成立了快速反应小组，旨在识别和反击社交媒体上发布危险错误信息的所谓专家的帖子和其他评论，以及刑事诈骗犯经营的网络钓鱼骗局。
当发现虚假叙事时，政府在社交媒体上直接进行反驳，以确保公共卫生运动只通过可靠的消息来源进行宣传。
该部门已被解散，在Covid-19大流行期间，该部门在应对网上虚假信息方面发挥了核心作用。
来自陆军第77旅的专家在疫情期间协助了其他政府部门。
“对我们的民主有害”
第77旅成立于2015年，由正规和预备役人员组成，主要针对英国境外的敌对国家行为体和暴力极端组织。
它主要通过社交媒体帖子和其他在线消息，为军事指挥官提供信息战略，作为更广泛计划的一部分。
然而，在大流行期间，政府利用一些军事专家来帮助反击虚假信息。
公民自由倡导组织“老大哥观察”(Big Brother Watch)的负责人西尔基·卡洛(Silkie Carlo)周日告诉《每日邮报》:“与他们宣称的目标相反，这些政府真相小组行事隐秘，对我们的民主有害。”
反虚假信息小组应立即停职，并接受全面调查。”
