Yeah. You clearly intend for this newfangled freedom of speech thing to protect critical commentary, avoid repression and promote the exchange of valuable ideas; and all of the sudden people apply it in all kinds of nonsensical counterproductive ways. Slippery slope and all... Unless of course you really think that protecting the rich & powerful's ability to mislead and trick others is really a societal benefit.
