Governments cracking down on fake news is rattling my chain, so-called free western civilizations (like Germany and The Netherlands) are passing laws left and right to counter fake news; so at best they'll will be trying to criminalize opinions not favouring their own. You can go on and imagine what the worst could be.
What happened to the times where you could simply go to court and sue someone for publishing something that you thought was untrue and make them retract or rectify if the judge ruled in your favour?
Although litigious this system works and is allegedly independent. (appointment of judges is hardly non-political tbh)
Now the winners of the last elections will have a go at whatever they don't like, so how will opposition parties gain ground if their objections or whistleblows are stifled for being fake news?!?
