This document proposes amendments to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (R.A. No. 10175) in the Philippines to address the proliferation of fake news. It defines fake news as false stories spread online to influence views or for profit. The law currently defines cybercrime offenses but does not address fake news. The amendments aim to criminalize creating and spreading fake news to deter malicious actors and protect people from online disinformation. The document argues this is needed because fake news thrives when people do not verify information and are biased towards content matching their own views.
