網路平台身為匯集網路言論的樞紐，是現今大眾最重要的資訊獲取管道之一。但同時，網路平台上充斥著假訊息，有害於平台使用者個人權利與公共利益，為政府亟欲解決的議題。不過政府並不適合作為網路平台上假訊息的主要管制者，政府無論直接管制網路平台上的假訊息、或課予網路平台管制平台上言論的義務，都很容易在解決假訊息問題同時過度侵害人民言論自由。政府更適合站在監督者角色，將網路平台上的假訊息問題交由網路平台自行建立自律機制、或透過非政府的外部機制對網路平台進行監督與合作方式加以處理。

Nowadays, the digital network platforms become the most important channel to communicate. The spread of misinformation and disinformation disperses while people gather and share information online. Hence, the government tries to response to the issue rapidly and efficiently before it infringes human rights or harms public welfare or public interests. However, it is argued that the government should not lead the online speech censorship of disinformation or misinformation. Specifically, the direct censorship of online speech or forced obligation to censor online speech by the government is more likely to violate the freedom of speech and press. In conclusion, it would be better to make the government be the supervisor and let digital network platforms self-regulate or cooperate with and be overseen by non-governmental organizations to solve the disinformation or misinformation issue.
