IEC Launches Anti-Disinformation Code | Johannesburg News

South Africa’s Electoral Commission just dropped a game-changing move to fight fake news ahead of local elections: a new code of conduct targeting online disinformation, kicking off Friday with a reporting hub called Real411. It’s not censorship—it’s accountability: political players must verify info before sharing, correct false claims within 36 hours, and flag the source. AI content and ads? Must be labeled. Satire and debate? Still protected. And if you spot a lie? Report it in 36 hours. Elections are cleaner, fairer, and more transparent—starting now.
