    I heard on #RadioNZ today that the Fijian government are planning to pass laws forcing FB and other online platforms to crack down on "#FakeNews". So ... who gets to decide which news is fake? Governments? Tech companies? There's no doubt the internet, like all media, is subject to misinformation and disinformation. But scientists and other scholars don't find truth by consulting central authorities, they do it by #PeerReview. Isn't that the way to do it with news?
