I just won a freedom of speech lawsuit against NYC for my startup VUGO. We do not want to make governmental entities the judges of what information is fact or opinion, because the government will pick winners and losers based on what benefits them.
The good news is that the judicial branch is in favor of protecting the 1st amendment in all it's forms (press, political, religious and commercial)
Although a strong 1st amendment means that the responsibility falls on the citizen.
Caveat Emptor...In other words the the consumer of media alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of information before a accepting something as fact.
We need to do a better job of helping people think critically, I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that government regulation of Free Speech is definitely NOT the answer having fought content-based censorship in NYC.
