Sri Lanka proposes new law on fake news

Jun, 06, 2023 Hi-network.com

Following the attacks that took place over Easter, Sri Lanka is now amending its Penal Code to include the spreading of fake news and hate speech on social media. The sentence will carry five years of imprisonment and a fine of one million rupees (USD$5715). This is in addition to last month's regulations on combating fake news and giving the authorities the right to remove hateful content.
