Rappler gets international support amid shutdown threat

The Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission affirmed their earlier decision to revoke the certificates of incorporation of Rappler Inc and Rappler Holdings Corporation.

After this decision, the International Fact-Checking Network, published a statement, signed from more than 66 fact-checking organizations around the world, which express their solidarity with Rappler and condemning the government’s efforts to shut down independent media.

The decision by the Philippine government poses a dangerous precedent and will likely encourage authoritarian regimes to go after other fact-checkers, especially if it succeeds.
