I surely feel that there should be some sort of Fake News Regulation. Though it may not come across as a huge issue not only the United States but most parts of the world are facing. People are being instigated by spreading fake news. I had spoken to a friend some months back who is from an Indian origin and he shared with me that in India the present government is heavily silently supporting and rather contributing to the spread of various fake news through social media like Facebook and WhatsApp for their own selfish motives and divide people on the basis of religion in a country that is known to be one of the largest democracies of the world!
