Vague "False Information" Crime Criminalizes Speech

This provision makes it a crime to "create false information about a person" or "post or disseminate false information about a person" with penalties of 1-10 years imprisonment. The terms "false information," "harass," and "stalk" are undefined, creating legal uncertainty about what speech is prohibited. The provision contains no exceptions for truth, good faith, opinion, satire, journalism, or public interest—protections fundamental to free speech in democratic societies. This broad criminalization with severe penalties creates a chilling effect on legitimate online expression including criticism, investigative journalism, whistleblowing, and academic debate. The overlap with 35 allows prosecutors to select between 1-3 year or 1-10 year penalties for similar conduct based on discretion rather than clear legal criteria.
