Fake news can affect the economy negatively. Traders, including trading bots use news as input.

  I was going to say that free speech in a fundamental human right but then you mentioned the economy and I'm all on board for censorship.

    It's not really censorship. It's journalistic rigor. - In science, the scientific method requires you to present facts. - In the justice system, the burden of proof is on the party presenting an accusation. Now, journalistic reports can be considered products of sort that are the source of significant revenue. Most products are subject to certain scrutiny or regulation... why is journalism an exception? There needs to be accountability. Fake news are a disservice to society, hence the "fake" denomination.
