I don’t quite understand why a need to spend public resources for such a committee and hearing. After 50 hours and 65 witnesses (probably they are too shy to ask to be paid for their time), there weren’t any conclusion except for 2 themes: the importance of free speech & the need for added legislation.
Most people
‘think’ they are smart & are able to differentiate between fake news and
the truth. Yet, they spread fake news like wild fire. Why? Simply because
people are addicted to their mobile devices and their fingers are always on
their small screen till they go to sleep. Just look at people around you &
on the streets. One of their hand is constantly holding their phone in front of
them & looking at it.
To stop fake news,
just pass the law and punish those who create, spread, share them. Just ban
them like chewing gum. There’s really no 2 ways about it.
When my friends
sent me fake news, I just tell them & laughed at them loudly. They just
confirmed that they aren’t that smart after all!
