So is climate change real? Depending on the administration, you will get a different answer. My point is that if you start making it illegal to tell a lie, you may find yourself having to break the law or "tell the truth". In my opinion, the bigger issue is that it is extremely profitable to amplify lies. As long as selling (faux?) outrage keeps the ads flowing, platforms are incentivized to amplify lies and push click-bait. Instead of of trying to outlaw lying, I'd prefer to tax digital advertising to try to make lying less profitable.
