You can get sued, fired from your job, socially ostracised
But you shouldn't be imprisoned for having the "wrong" opinion
consequences, will never be, the same!
right, being sued is the only place where the law is involved in slander and libal in the us
so i dont actually think its a speech issue
Yeah but i think that's more tort liability and not federal law
its not a speech issue until you have proactive inforcement of a judicial interpiritation of slander or libal
Would fraud by false advertising or misleading also be protected under an absolute free speech position?
Always wondered that
i think a lot of people get confused between what is illegal and what can be taken as offence in court by an opposing party
If the fraud only causes financial damages, then I guess the government wouldn't step in
But if the fraud infringes on other people's rights, then I guess the government would step in
Maybe it's a case by case basis?
thats certainly something that the government enforces with a standard rather than relying completely on cases being filed to the court
I'm not a lawyer but I wouldn't know how you would be able to fairly enforce a blanket law like that
But I guess consumer protection laws do that
I'm pretty sure consumer court allows you to sure for false advertising
yeah basicly that
I don't know if you guys have it in freedomland
we have class action lawsuits
its basicly the people vs
State?
it can be against anyone if the court accepts the case
Oooh
Okay then, so that Jilly juice woman can be sued?
yep
Yeah I’m not asking how it’s currently handled, I’m asking how it fits into a free-speech absolutist position
Well, that helps. Thanks guys
@angeryer Absolutist means everything is allowed
a free-speech absolutionist might be an ancap
No kind of restriction
False advertising? Too bad suckers
I suppose so yeah
Wait for the reviews
buyer beware
The paid McReviews say it’s great!
That's why I'm not in agreement with ancaps
It's like
