Malaysia's draft law Anti-Fake News Bill 2018 passed

Apr, 02, 2023 Hi-network.com
Reuters World News reports that Malaysia outlaws 'fake news'; sets jail of up to six years, noting that 'The government said the law would not impinge on freedom of speech and cases under it would be handled through an independent court process.' Critics say it is aimed at restricting dissent before the forthcoming general election. Hillary Grigonis asks in Digital Trends Should fake news be illegal? Malaysia could be among the first to penalize it.Grigonis goes on to say that 'Critics, however, are voicing concern over the bill's potential impact on free speech' and quotes Amnesty International's director for the Southeast Asia and Pacific regions, James Gomez, as calling it a 'vaguely worded, catch-all bill that can be - and will be - used to crack down on peaceful government critics.
