“Fake news” isn’t being talked about just in the U.S.:

CNN’s chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto thinks the U.S. government is behind the curve on that issue:

Who’s deciding what is and isn’t “fake news”? This is govt deciding what speech they approve of. Guessing you don’t see a problem though? #Censorship https://t.co/JYYuspi7iw

In that case, a government official, President Trump, already calls CNN “fake news” on a regular basis. So in a way, Sciutto has what he wants.
