Committee issues injunction against fake news that Gesher party quit elections

The head of the Central Elections Committee, Supreme Court Justice Hanan Melcer, issues an injunction ordering social media sites to remove posts that falsely claim that Orly Levy-Abekasis’s Gesher party has pulled out of tomorrow’s Knesset elections.

Melcer says the posts are “an unfair disturbance to Gesher’s election campaign and may significantly mislead voters.”
