An outright ban on intentional deception would be unenforceable, lead to self-censorship and do nothing to tackle the disinformation plaguing social media

      Anything supported by facts. The more facts, the more complete the truth.

      Technically truth is just the commonly accepted answer and not an objective fact of reality. It doesn’t have to be a fact, or even real. Just that the majority of people think it is.

        I would call that belief, while “truth” is anything that’s supported by facts.

        Plainly incorrect, but okay

          Bruh… It’s literally one of the dictionary definitions of the word “truth.”

        Sure but whatever definition you use, they cross it too far.

    I mean, there’s probably still something that can be done to at least enforce liable laws on politicans. The mud slinging on both sides is extremely tiresome every election and is one reason people disengage with politics. Other countries have this, and so did we up until Reagan.
