So Macron proves to be just the kind of right-wing psychopath people believed him to be.
If he seriously passes some "fake news" laws, I'm already curious which extremely vague definition of "fake news" he will use. Hint: It will not actually require an information to be a "lie", probably not even to be factually false.

The current usage of the phrase "fake news" is extremely similar to the Nazis' usage of the word "Lügenpresse". Even the literal meaning of both phrases is almost identical! It's hardly more than a way for governments to control the "Deutungshoheit", and try to suppress information and sources they consider a danger for their agenda.
