Rappler的《In the Public Square》新一集将讨论反虚假信息立法，特别是多数党领袖Sandro Marcos提出的HB 2697。该法案可能对言论自由构成风险，专家表示。本次讨论将邀请Democracy.net.ph和Doublethink Lab的代表参与。
菲律宾一直在努力推动惩罚或防止虚假信息传播的立法。在众议院，至少有14项法案被提交给委员会，而在参议院，至少有5项。众议院的主要版本HB 2697由多数党领袖Sandro Marcos提出，正引发担忧，因为它可能成为言论自由倡导者、记者和内容创作者的陷阱。并根据Rappler报道，负责这些法案的委员会一直在举行公开听证会，咨询专家，并欢迎观察员参与。在Rappler专栏作家John Nery主持的《In the Public Square》新一集中，嘉宾包括倡导组织Democracy.net.ph权利主任Carlos Nazareno，以及Doublethink Lab菲律宾分析师Janina Santos。这些人士曾参与部分听证会。
