Let the court decide on what is fake news

Under the POFMA or fake news law, any of the 20 ministers can make a determination that a news is false and require the news item to be corrected or taken down.
I suggest that this determinaition should be made by the court, rather than a minister. This will ensure that there is consistency in making the determination.
If I am not mistaken, the minister for law has said that this approach would be time consuming.
