Who decides what constitutes fake news?: Eran Wickramaratne

08 Jun 2021

Serious concerns have arisen with the government's decision to take action against those who publish "fake news" on social media channels, stated Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP Eran Wickramaratne today (08).

He stated that the government is taking draconian measures under the disguise of handling the Covid-19 pandemic, and that this is one of them. "Adding to the growing list of draconian measures taken under the guise of COVID-19 management, the government is now criminalising fake news. Who decides what constitutes fake news," he stated via his Twitter account today (08). He also stated that this was another attempt to silence those against the government. "While fake news is a serious concern, this is merely an attempt to silent dissent. Will government representatives spreading fake information on Covid-19 be held accountable too?" he questioned.
