Man fined for posting Fake News
 A former computer programmer was fined 500,000 yen Friday for posting a fabricated news article with a false Kyodo News credit on a pseudo Yahoo Japan News website, which said Chinese warplanes had invaded Japanese airspace over Okinawa.The Tokyo Summary Court issued a summary order to Takahiro Yamamoto, 30, who lives in the city of Nagasaki, to pay the fine after prosecutors filed a summary indictment against him earlier in the day for violating the Copyright Law. He immediately paid the fine, according to investigative sources. Posted by: Pappy 2005-12-17 |
