Fake news, fake propaganda: Argentina prepares legal action

 

 

The Argentine Football Association is preparing legal action against the fake propaganda against Argentine players and the team during the FIFA World Cup. The case will be filed against the media and social media accounts that provided fake news. The Argentine Football Association says that fake news was spread against the team and that the news was provided without evidence.

In addition, it will officially complain to leading social media platforms to immediately remove profiles that spread fake news, and file defamation cases against individuals and institutions that tried to tarnish the reputation of the team and the association.
