According to Australian National University misinformation expert Dr Ross Tapsell, public trust is crucial for the media industry, where if it failed to earn, people would turn to alternative sources of information instead, such as the social media platforms which can be shared widely. Citing recent Australia’s deadly wildfires that have burned more than millions of hectares across six states, Tapsell said there had been a lot of support for the country’s public broadcaster, ABC News to look for the information on the disaster.
Therefore, he said there is a need to have control over the syndicates that produce disinformation by hiring a bunch of people to produce fake news in a formal way. Meanwhile, Tapsell also commended the current Malaysian government for eliminating the Anti-Fake News Act, a law criminalising fake news legislation that was passed by the previous Barisan Nasional government.
