MessageOpposed. What do you define as true and false ? Although, we agree that the current situation is not ideal, the DFM believes that it rules out any state control of information.

MessageSo, under the current law it's perfectly legal to suggest that the DFM is a shill for multinational corporations. After all, who is to say what's true or false??

MessageHow can you prosecute, DFM? The law is perfectly clear as it stands, and as you propose we maintain. Under what laws can you challenge such lies?
