Fiji warned about fake news
Radio NZ
Election authorities in Fiji are warning about false news stories in the
run-up to tomorrow's election.
They were telling people to report any so-called fake news.
Social media users have found fake media sites with items about visafree access to Australia and a ban on celebrating Diwali.
Ashwin Raj said there was so much fake news that audiences found it
hard to decide which was fact or fiction.
Mr Raj said people should report fake news.
A two-day campaign blackout started at midnight on Sunday, but
the complaints to the elections office said some material remained on
banners and car stickers.
Offenders risk the chance of a hefty fine and up to 10 years in jail.
