This law is to prevent any non-mainstream news outlet to share content. From the UKIP site:<p>&quot;The great danger is that it will destroy the capacity for free speech on the internet and social media, which has exploded in recent years and is an invaluable alternative to the so-called mainstream media.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ukip.org&#x2F;national-ukip-news-item.php?id=18" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ukip.org&#x2F;national-ukip-news-item.php?id=18</a><p>The law is about the so-called &quot;fake news&quot;, now that we&#x27;re close to the 2019 European parliament elections.
