[Delegate spoke in Spanish, interpreted as follows:]
I'd like to share two things with you that we've been doing in Parliament in Costa Rica, and also the presidency of the republic, to take care of these effects.
Recently the president of the country spoke against a group of trolls whom she was able identify because they were disseminating fake news. As a result we have created mechanisms of double check, truth hashtag trends about fake news. We have also created a hashtag to check the information that is broadcast, #LetThemNotLieToYou. It is rather a movement of checking the information on civil society for those who want to have the truth.
This has, in a way, softened things, but we have the debate, indeed, whether the possibility of creating these rules implies limiting freedom of expression. Social movement has had a greater effect than the debate in Parliament. I wanted to share that since the president was the one speaking about it. This has been very important in disseminating information.
