Institutionalising trust, not tougher regulation, is key to countering false and manipulated information
False and manipulated information is not limited to a handful of users or posts but can spread rapidly through large platforms’ search, recommendation, sharing and monetisation systems, with risks ranging from personal harm to distorted consumer choices and damage to elections. As AI lowers production costs, post hoc deletion and punishment are not enough. A revised enforcement decree under the Information and Communications Network Act seeks tiered responsibilities based on scale and impact, and institutionalises reporting procedures, transparency reports and cooperation with fact-checking bodies.
