Mostly a thought-experiment here:
There's a class of people+situations where there's a communication asymmetry. For example, someone in a position of authority can create a press conference and deliver communication to hundreds or thousands, and people can't contest and deliver communication back to all listeners in an equally timely manner. So these situations are one-sided and prone to be abused as propaganda delivery mechanisms.
Why can't we require speech in these specific situations to follow a couple rules:
- Statements of opinions must be preceded by a notice that X is your opinion, for each statement.
- Stating things that are provably incorrect is a violation of law.
- Statements that encourage behavior that is against the law is a violation of law.
