"1. There is no clear or consistent definition of fake news; 2. Fake news is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to social media; 3. There is a dearth of evidence about the scale, dissemination or effects of fake news; 4. Fake news is a symptom of much broader structural problems with our digital information environment; 5. Remedies solely or heavily based on technological fixes or market-driven corrections will not, on their own, address these problems; 6. Any hasty attempt by government to introduce measures to address fake news will have unintended consequences – some of which are likely to be damaging to free speech and democratic discourse; 7. The government could seek to better understand the conditions that enable fake news, consider progressive interventions to promote and sustain public interest news and information, call for greater and more transparent self-governance by tech platforms, and inquire into the use of digital platforms for political campaigning."
