Fake news is a problem, and it's growing both in reach and influence. Malaysia is fighting fake news by introducing a law to make it illegal, but experts say that new law is a dangerous one. 

Ostensibly to stop disinformation from influencing local politics, the country's lower house of parliament on Monday passed a bill, "Anti-Fake News Bill 2018," outlawing fake news, according to local media. It's expected to be approved by the senate this week.
