The social media world has been shaken.
Amid a heated discussion in Congress, Representative Jinky Luistro emphasized that posting fake news constitutes a “continuing crime.”
This means that as long as false information remains online, it is considered “in flagrante delicto”—caught in the act.
No court-issued warrant is now necessary for authorities to take action. The public is tired of deception, and the days of those who spread lies with impunity may be coming to an end.
This development should serve as a reminder to all content creators: responsibility comes with reach. Social media is no longer a space where misinformation can be freely circulated without consequences. Accountability is no longer optional—it is mandatory.
