I think the problem is that we expect the market to be fair. Because a lot of social systems depend "on the market" in really stupid ways. Maybe that's the real problem. If CEO's wanna lie, then we shouldn't trust them, but is it right for it to be illegal for them to do so? I promise you every CEO has lied (uncharitably, misreprented, charitably) at some point about their company. So in the end, it can come down to a matter of which CEO has the most political connections/political favor so as not to get jacked by the state that can arbitrarily choose to reinterpret a misrepresentation as a lie. I'm a person that actively gets politically disfavored (overrepresented minority, and all that) so that sort of shit scares the fuck out of me, since I would like to get a large amount of money to help change society for the better.
