Rep. Jim Jordan, House Republicans raise alarms over new South Korean 'fake news' law

Representatives from the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter Thursday to South Korean regulators regarding legislation that restricts the distribution of false information online. The letter expressed concern that the law could be used to suppress speech. The law defines "false information" as content that distorts facts and is distributed with intent to harm the public interest, according to South Korean government statements. Rep. Jim Jordan and other House Republicans were signatories to the letter.
