Proposed fake news law: Avenues for redress should not be onerous, says Charles Chong

Mounting a challenge against a minister's order for corrections or takedowns of online falsehoods, under a proposed law, should be made less onerous, said Deputy Speaker of Parliament Charles Chong.

This would provide the assurance that there are adequate avenues to seek redress when there is disagreement with the Government's decision, said Mr Chong, who chaired the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods last year.
