TREAT LIBELLOUS MSM STORIES AIMED AT INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANISATIONS AS HATE CRIMES
We are continually seeing more and more fake and libellous stories in MSM and from political organisations. MSM has a huge audience which can damage or ruin a an individual or organisations reputation. Hate crime online is now an arrestable offence. We need to treat fake news stories as hate crime.
