You're advocating for the government to become the arbitrator of true and fiction for private speech. Seems like an absolutely terrible idea to me.
- krapp 5y agoEvery government in existence, including that of the United States, arbitrates speech and fact. That's why perjury and false advertising are illegal, for instance.
- mullen 5y agoYour examples are not relative to the discussion. Perjury is a crime because people have to tell the truth in the court system. The whole justice system and thus, society, would break down if anyone could say whatever they wanted in a court of law without being punished. False Advertising is a crime because it is a commercial activity with the intent to commit fraud and not an individual saying their opinions.
