It would be easy if people weren't stupid enough to believe everything they read on the internet. But sadly, this isn't the case, so judges will need to block fake news. There's a difference between having an opinion about something, and straight-up lying.

Agreed, as a european i support this myself. Only ones against this are those with agenda or people who think a politician like Trump is worth listening to.

This is basically what you said: "Only those with different political views than me would be against this." You realise everyone has an agenda in politics? Anti-Immigration people, socialists, Nazis, Feminists, Libertarians... they all have an agenda. If you have no agenda you are not political. 

So, what if Donald Trump was the one proposing the law? Would you still support it? You know that Trump considers CNN fake news, right? Would you still be all over this? What if the next president / chancellor / largest party of you country is right-wing populist? Because those people will decide what's fake news then.
