Fake news is misleading information that is shown to the public that could cause drastic events. Many governments are using the creation of fake news as "an excuse to crack down
on their critics using the pretext of restricting the spread of fake news" (Madia 1). Multiple laws have been created to prevent and restrict the creation of false information but, it has only caused false accusation on many journalists. Madia talks about how COVID-19 created a huge space for people to create fake news and that is why the laws against fake news were created. The big question is: Are fake news laws adding more harm to people and society than protecting us?
