Misinformation Act of 2032

The misinformation act of 2032 was a law passed out in the United States of America in 2032. It was mostly advocated by then congressman Jill Freeman, a known player of the WWU.

Context and Role of the law
The de jure intention and basis of the law was to enact justice on organisations who would spread false or misleading information in a way that caused mass mayhem, panic and chaos within society. The law passed in the midst of the crusades, a violent epoch where the WWU clashed with authorites for the hegenomy of Earth. The crusades were described by all acount as a time of chaos, and so the WWU, having already started to implant themselves into American politics, secretly passed that law under the pretext of trying to maintain order in a time of chaos, and to be able to effeciently use the media against the WWU. In reality, the law was used by the WWU to restrict freedom of speech, and to censor those who would whistleblow against the WWU. In the later part of the Crusades, the law allowed the larger media outlets, especially EMC News, to stomp out smaller independent media outlets into the ground and maintain a WWU run media cartel in the United States.

The law was passed by Democrat congressman Jill Freeman, who later became president under the wing of the WWU. The bill was widely well recieve by both major politcal parties, with a little more resistance on the Republican side. The media and most formal institutions praised that law, while the population had mixed feelings about it.

Practice and effects
The concrete practice of the law was vague and finnicky. For one thing, what qualified as a transgression of the law, and therefore what could warrant an arrest, was subjective and mostly relied on the whims of police force, which in reality meant the orders of the WWU.
