The official narrative for the WMD in Iraq was that WMD didnt exist, according to the UN nuclear inspectors. It was the US that wanted to create an alternative narrative that WMD are a thing, with satellite photos and yellowcake stories. And this is why the vast majority of europeans were against the invasion of Iraq. I think only in the US, the majority of the public supported the invasion.

Most governments opposed it. And even in countries where the government supported it, the public didnt. If your closest allies are telling you "this is bad, dont do it", then maybe it is bad.
Exactly, but in America for a while all of the outlets and a vast majority of the politicians were saying the same thing (that there were WMDs) for a while - or at least that was what I've pieced together since I was too young to to understand politics at the time. My point was more so that it was wrong, but in the event something like that was the only narrative allowed on American social media platforms and search engines society could be worse off by it.
