Fake news is a menace to all of us, and criminalizing it seems the logical solution to a widespread problem. But is it really? What are the benefits and ramifications Sri Lanka can expect from such a move?

Students for Liberty Sri Lanka Chapter presents: ‘Criminalizing Fake News Implications for Sri Lankan Society.’

Event held on 15th May 2021 at 6.00pm to discuss this matter in depth with an esteemed panel of guests, in collaboration with the Nightwatchman Society.
