Admin bets propose penalties for sharing fake news

Administration bets under Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas are proposing penalties for those who merely share 'fake news' as part of efforts to combat disinformation in the Philippines.

ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo believes individuals who share known fake content should be held accountable, stating it's their responsibility to verify information.

Tulfo emphasized the need for a law that penalizes sharers of fake news, arguing that sharing such content implies condoning it.

Recent Social Weather Stations survey results indicate that almost six out of ten Filipinos perceive 'fake news' on social media as a significant issue.
