Clarify scope of fake news task force, CIJ urges govt

GE15 | The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) has implored Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa to clarify how the government’s task force to monitor fake news on social media for the general election will operate.

CIJ executive director Wathshlah G Naidu urged Annuar to give the definition and scope of fake news adopted by the task force, as the group was concerned over the possible arbitrary use of it.
