Really? Let the lies fly? So long as influential people exist, and opportunities exist to profit off that influence then there will be a need for state agencies to police them (the influential people). As Elon Musk found when he was investigated following his promise to take Tesla private at $4.20 a share (I hope my memory has got that right). He had all sorts of sanctions made against him, and it was just stoned tweeting. One of the justifications for a state is to protect the weak from the strong. It is imaginable that it could be done away with (the rule of law protecting the ignorant from the insiders) but if you are going to imagine, imagine what that world would look like.
