The First Circuit upheld a permanent injunction blocking Puerto Rico's 'Fake News' law, which criminalized sharing false information about emergencies, affirming that the law violated the First Amendment by chilling press freedom and imposing unconstitutional speech restrictions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face fewer legal risks when reporting during emergencies in Puerto Rico as this ruling blocks vague laws that could criminalise your reporting. Expect a safer environment to challenge government narratives without fear of prosecution.
