  Sounds great, but who gets to decide what is fake news? Article does not give too many details. Apparently These outlets and the platforms that host them must have a mechanism to facilitate citizens’ right to ask that false or inaccurate information that harms them be corrected publicly, the ministry said. So there is a citizens’ right? That's going to be interesting. Anybody with an axe to grind, can file a request for correction. hmm, that's going to work great.

    >Sounds great, but who gets to decide what is fake news? The government, the courts, some unaccountable NGOs, and people rich enough to have good lawyers and be able to crush a website or blogger.
