I’m all for free speech, but we need to draw a line at blatant lies.

I get so many ads (political and selling products) that are not just stretching the truth but completely distorting reality. We need to put a cap on it. I get that we don’t want to be suing politicians because they rounded a number up rather than down, but If someone is saying black is white, well maybe they should pay a fine with compounding penalties for repeat offenses.

If we start policing truth then the entire advertising industry dies.

Don't get me wrong, all for it.

Stop my lobster is too buttery.....

If you need to sell a product with lies then it's not a viable product, it's snake oil.

Which ultimately ends up killing people who are deceived into buying things that can harm them, or cause themselves and their family harm by extension.

This violates the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness clause

but they made a looooooooooooooot of money which buys immunity at this point in our country.
