WP proposed change to the fake news law

The Workers Party has proposed changes to the fake news law that is now being considered by Parliament.

He proposed that any order relating to fake news should be decided by the court and not by any minister.

This is similar to the suggestion that I put up yesterday in my website:

I was not aware of the proposal by WP when I wrote it. I am sure that many other people probably have the same idea.

I hope that this change will be made to the law that is being passed. It will create more trust in the fake news law.

    As much as we cannot escape from fake news, this law will give relief to one of our problems, that is anyone of us can be a target.
