"It is not healthy for democracy to give the state control over the content of messages," writes Diogo Reis, professor of electoral law at Mackenzie and FGV, regarding the fight against fake news; "The state and society could increasingly encourage the empowerment of users so that they, in turn, can check and choose the content. This will be possible with more information, more education, and more freedom."
