H.R. 6393: Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
it is easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used to target, threaten, or eliminate so-called “fake news” websites, a list which has been used to arbitrarily define any website, or blog, that does not share the mainstream media's proclivity to serve as the Public Relations arm of a given administration.

Now we get to wait and see if it passes through the Senate and becomes law. Can you imagine if some anonymous group can throw up a website labeling other websites that are not spreading the MSM propaganda as "Russian propaganda".
Do you think the US government will use this law, if passed, to shut down websites they deem as a threat?
A "threat" could be just about any website that is not supporting their narrative, judging by the recent "fake news" retaliation by the MSM. Personally, I am astounded at how fast this was put together. It's almost like The Patriot Act, which was prepared well ahead of time. I would suspect the same foresight in this instance. They need to win the "infowar", as one outspoken yet likely controlled opposition reporter likes to put it. ;)
