Background
Media Truth Law
Create a department, which has the power to compel outlets to remove content which falls foul of the requirements and demand public acknowledgement of the same. In addition to this, the department shall have the authority to award mandatory compensation, to similar levels, the individual or company would have received had they pursued legal action.
