The Czech government is considering sweeping new “disinformation” laws that will empower the government to block “disinformation sites that threaten national security” and prosecute those that are deemed to be “spreading misinformation.”
The government also plans to stop advertising on websites that are branded as “disinformation websites” and to allocate millions of euros to media outlets and non-profits that fight disinformation.
Michal Klíma, the Czech government envoy for media and disinformation, noted that the laws will only apply to content from abroad.
