Topic: Any Law Penalizing Social Media Platforms “ Fake News” and

Misinformation in unconstitutional.

Reason in choosing: Recently, Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan is urging the


Senate to look into the proliferation of misinformation and fake news on Facebook
and penalize the social media platform for its “inaction.” Senator Antonio Trillanes
IV filed a similar resolution, urging the Senate committee on public information
and mass media to come up with laws to protect the public from fabricated digital
information and hold accountable those behind the fake news.

Reason why it is a doubtful question of law: It should be the individual social


media user be penalize or held accountable in sharing fake news and
misinformation and not the social media sites.
