I'm all for leaking information that governments try to cover up issues regarding human rights and things like that.
But Fake news is just giving governments the power to do what ever they want.
Do something that people disagreed with - "This story said such and such happened, so we have to protect the people against this"!
If the media discovers something the government is doing and reports it - "Oh that's fake news, the media is against us".
There is nothing good about fake news and when you look at the agenda of the people who push it, it's in fact very scary.
