[Chapter-delegates] Two ISOC members from Europe appointed in the EU HLEG on fake news

[Ang Peng Hwa (Prof)]

Congratulations Veni and Zuga!

Interestingly, the Singapore Parliament just formed a committee on “deliberate online falsehood”. http://www.straitstimes.com/politics/select-committee-on-fake-news-seeks-publics-suggestions-will-hold-open-hearings-in-march

The Green Paper referred to in the news item is available from
https://www.mlaw.gov.sg/content/dam/minlaw/corp/News/Annexe%20A%20-%20Green%20Paper%20on%20Deliberate%20Online%20Falsehoods.pdf

I’m thinking that ISOC HQ should have some resources that could inform this Commission as well as the Singapore Parliament.

Regards,
Ang Peng Hwa

Thank you, Borka and Olga.
It is definitely an interesting experience - we had our first meeting yesterday, and the discussions are quite fascinating. There are already some articles in different languages, and the statement<http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/play.cfm?ref=I149431&lg=INT&sublg=none&autoplay=false> by EU commissioner Gabriel and our chairwoman, Madeleine, which give more details.
