The new rules of speech

Analyze the design of laws aimed at misinformation, defamation, and harmful online speech. Compare the goals of reducing falsehoods and protecting reputation with the risks of chilling satire, criticism, and political dissent. Discuss enforcement standards, platform liability, evidentiary thresholds, appeals, and the difference between punishing clearly malicious content and suppressing contested opinions. Then suggest a balanced framework for speech regulation in a highly connected society.
