Of course, some falsehoods are easily spoken and unpunished, such as the claims by many a religion.
It does not solve the issue that sensitive falsehoods are more easily censored that those the public has no particular emotional investment in.
Even on the subject of genocides, denying that the Armenian genocide happened, or even denying that the genocides of the Third Reich against the Slavs and the Gypsies happened seems to be quite legal in Germany.
