India makes U-turn after proposing to punish 'fake news' publishers - CNN

The Indian government is shelving a rule to punish journalists for publishing "fake news" just 48 hours after its introduction.

The proposed order would have given the government the authority to strip individuals and media organizations of their accreditation -- which is needed to go to government functions and makes access to government offices easier -- if they received a complaint of reporting so-called fake news, a term that was not specifically defined.
