Because social media everyone talking to everyone, not a (hopefully) trained and responsible person attempting to be a source of truth addressing the masses.
I am also against libel laws and anti-defamation beyond the most minimal required to prevent fraud. When you start legislating truth it is only a matter of time until you have a state run ministry of truth.
