Brazil's Bolsonaro would veto bill regulating fake news as is

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said he will veto a bill regulating fake news if it comes to his desk from Congress in its present shape, which has also been criticized by social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter.

A network of Bolsonaro's supporters is being investigated for propagating fake news to denigrate opponents and attack the country's democratic institutions. Brazil's Senate passed the bill on Tuesday and it has returned to the lower chamber to approve changes.
