Circulate comments that 'cause fear'? The potential for abuse on that one is far too... frightening. I think you're wrong. I think there needs to be another type of fact enforcement (probably an effective social one), because this is a form of attack on free speech. Free speech and discernment was a great combo before liberals took over schools and dismantled discernment. You can't legislate away 'fake news' without killing 'uncommon knowledge', 'unpopular news', and 'anti-legislator news'. No organization will ever be qualified to designate news as true or false, or to accurately analyze its delivery for biases - it's a job we each have to do for ourselves. That's the only way it isn't tyranny and corruption the second a 'news regulator' gets their hands on it.
Yeah, cause fear is too easy to abuse, but false news would be nice.
According to all of the most authoritative fact checkers, this entire site is false news.
