You can contract for people to tell lies even. That's what celebrity endorsement contracts essentially are, for example. I don't think this has anything to do

I don't think this has anything to do with free speech, but more about fair business practices.

- marcoperaza 9y agoHence the tiny text on the bottom of the screen about "paid actors" or similar. But again, that's about prohibiting unfair business practices, misleading advertising in this case. It has nothing to do with the legal capability of the actors to contract to tell lies, and nothing to do with free speech (except that it's a limit on the free speech of the actors and the company).
