This is dangerous and could bring censorship to our news sources.

The EU are trying to put through measures to literally censor news that they deem fake (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/eu-s-juncker-takes-aim-at-hungary-s-orban-over-fake-news-11033824).

This is extremely dangerous as the EU decide what is fake, not an I dependent body. The regulation gives them the power to demand removal with fines, giving the EU the right to control what news we see.

This, along with Right to be Forgotten, Articles 11 and 13 as well as the news sites EU citizens can't read due to GDPR (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/technology-44614885) is clearly moving towards censorship of what we can read and what information we are allowed access to.

Do you trust a bunch EU beareaucrats to decide what you are allowed to read?
