In our times the means of spreading fake news and lies are different by the general use of internet. Media trusts have, in this sense, large possibilities by using traditional mas-media communication and on-line comunication. Although fake news is a threat to democracy, the fight against these should not affect the freedom of speech. During the Sars Cov 2 pandemic cenzorship was some times used in Romania. I stand against these actions! Information claimed to be “fake news” like the one saying that the Sars cov 2 is not so dangerous is undergoing research and investigation so it is premature to call it “fake news”. For some it is already obvious that these is not fake news. The editorial board of the “Studia Securitatis” magazine stands for freedom of speech, for the important principal of listening to all opinions on a metter (“Audiatur omnia pars”) and condamns cenzorship.
