The initial research intention of the thesis is to seek for appropriate solutions in the legal perspective to resolve disputes on “Fake News”, which have brought disturbances, damages, and even political influences since 2016 and have caught attentions from governments around the world, under the difficult post-truth periods. It’s normal that people fear of unknown things. Therefore, the primary problem we have to deal with is the confirmation of our enemy. Which one is the enemy we have encountered? Fake news? False news? Misinformation? Disinformation? Through analysis and clarification of related terms, the thesis regards “Disinformation” as the research target. Began with the environment, cyberspace, that disinformation existed, the thesis observes and analyzes factors of its drastically spreading and points out legal solutions and difficulties by different regulating powers. Aside from theoretical analyses, the thesis tries to take approaches from foreign legislative experiences, including Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, and the U.S., so as to find out appropriate legislative models for Taiwan. Whatever legislative model it takes, the regulating balance inevitably struggles between legal and non-legal approaches. The way to tell truth or false from news contents ends up lying in news verification. Therefore, the thesis attempts to construct the theory of news verification for different occupations after Interpretation No. 689 of Constitutional Court, and collects organizations and self-regulations concerned with fact-checking. Hoping the thesis plays a role in pointing out the direction for Taiwan to deal with “Fighting against Fake News Issues” in the coming future.
