      Who decides what “truth” is? In concept I’m with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

      Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

        Alright how about ethics laws. Make knowingly lying or blatant dishonesty a felony.

        As much as Twitter has gone to shit I love the Community Notes feature they added. It deals with managing truth/lies very well

        I mean it’s mostly just something to say, I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. But there are things that are objectively true, and objectively false. If a company states something that is objectively false, then they should be held accountable. This PSN issue is an area where it becomes subjective, or at least difficult to prove, and then we’re right back where we started.
