> I don't really see any harm in having some kind of safeword for fake news They address this: "Third, the Sixth Circuit’s ruling imperils an an­cient form of discourse. The court’s decision suggests that parodists are in the clear only if they pop the bal­loon in advance by warning their audience that their parody is not true. But some forms of comedy don’t work unless the comedian is able to tell the joke with a straight face. Parody is the quintessential example. Parodists intentionally inhabit the rhetorical form of their target in order to exaggerate or implode it--and by doing so demonstrate the target’s illogic or absurd­ity." Plus First Amendment issues, and implementation details. If I make one satirical statement in an otherwise non-satirical essay, must I tag that sentence? Must all "it should have been clear I was joking" statements be tagged to avoid the risk of running afoul the law? It's a serious can of worms.
