This book examines the history of the legal discourse around political falsehood and its future in the wake of the 2012 US Supreme Court decision in US v. Alvarez through communication law, political philosophy, and communication theory perspectives. As US v. Alvarez confirmed First Amendment protection for lies, Robert N. Spicer addresses how the ramifications of that decision function by looking at statutory and judicial handling of First Amendment protection for political deception. Illustrating how commercial speech is regulated but political speech is not, Spicer evaluates the role of deception in politics and its consequences for democracy in a contemporary political environment where political personalities, partisan media, and dark money donors bend the truth and abuse the virtue of free expression.

Disinformation is not a product of the digital age. False news has always circulated across society, as demonstrated by the case of the 'Great Moon Hoax' in 1835. However, the circulation of false and inaccurate content on the Internet, and particularly on social media, has amplified, as is usually the case in cyberspace, the phenomenon. Indeed, growing concern about potential risks for democratic discourse and processes has emerged in recent years. For example, recent conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, have underlined how disinformation is far beyond only a concern for individual freedoms or national borders. -- Disinformation is primarily connected with the right to freedom of speech, thus raising questions about the tolerance of false content in a democratic society, and consequently what degree of limits on freedom of speech can be constitutionally justified. Primarily, the question is not whether regulating disinformation influences freedom of speech but the reasons for considering its regulation as a challenge for freedom of speech. Therefore, it should be considered that the response to disinformation entails dealing with the degree of protection given to free speech. This is a multifaceted question since each legal system adopts different paradigms of protection even where they share a common liberal matrix. In other words, it is a matter of understanding the limits of freedom of speech and the balancing of this right with legitimate interests or the safeguarding of other constitutional rights. -- Moreover, the digital environment has underlined how the marketplace of ideas is not free, but is shaped by public and private influences. The concept of disinformation is not only influenced by public actors, but also by other actors governing online speech. One inevitable element of the discussion is the key role of private parties, particularly online platforms, within the current news and information ecosystem. The process of content moderation contributes to setting standards for tackling disinformation, increasing the power of online platforms to make decisions on constitutional conflicting interests. -- Within this framework, this book provides a comparative constitutional analysis of the relationship between freedom of speech and disinformation. By examining reports which focus on Belgium, Canada, Croatia, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Macau, Romania, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Vietnam, this book analyses the constitutional challenges of balancing freedom of speech and falsehood, and the approaches adopted to deal with the spread of disinformation.

Excerpt from El Mahdi, or the False Prophets and Prophecies of Free Trade: Speech of Hon. John A. Kasson, of Iowa, in the House of Representatives, Tuesday, May 6, 1884 Northern Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia. Farms and real estate in their neighborhood have shared the general advance. The home consumption of cotton has increased from 20 per cent. In 1860 to over 30 per cent in 1883. In a word, all the elements of national development have advanced as rapidly in the South as in the North. Prosperity has not only dawned upon them, but it beams with the light of the midday sun all over the regions of the South. [applause.

How should a platform or a society address the fake news problem? The spread of misinformation is ancient, complex, yet ubiquitous in elections, vaccination campaigns, and global climate policy debates. After examining key attributes of “fake news” and of current solutions, this Article presents design tradeoffs for balancing free speech rights and the right to be free of false speech harms. Surprisingly, there exist boundary cases when a just society is better served by a mechanism that allows lies to pass, even as there are alternate boundary cases when a just society should put friction on truth. Harm reflects an interplay of lies, decision errors, and externalities. To make progress, this Article then endeavors to bridge law and information economics. Bridging these schools of thought offers three steps forward.The first step is a clearer problem definition. While much scholarship focuses on veracity, harms are better cognized as decision errors and externalities. A focus on truth per se is misguided because one cannot own truth and one cannot be dispossessed of truth. By contrast, one can be liable for decision errors and externalities. This alternate interpretation suggests a syllogism that defines the problem:Misinformation produces externalities. Externalities produce market failures. Market failures require intervention. But government intervention in the case of speech is forbidden by the First Amendment. Thus, attempts by courts and society to push the problem to the “marketplace of ideas” to sort things out will fail. Markets do not self-correct market failures.The second step offers more free speech protection than platform firms offer while updating Section 230. Revisions have faced two main critiques: that holding platforms actionable for false speech would cause them to chill speech, and that ambiguity in individual messages makes judgement of false speech infeasible at scale. Whistleblower testimony before congress emphasized platform amplification of content in pursuit of engagement. A targeted solution can separate original speech from amplified speech, generously protecting the former while reverse amplifying the latter. The second element uses scale as an advantage. Rather than vet every message, the system takes only statistical samples. The Central Limit Theorem guarantees that establishing the presence of misinformation in amplified speech is feasible to any level of desired accuracy simply by taking larger samples. The third step forward seeks to address the conflict-of-interest problem inherent in allowing any central authority to judge speech. Of all known solutions to externality problems, only Coase's tools are market based. The task then is to design systems of rights such that decentralized institutions can internalize negative externalities. A primary contribution of this Article is to propose such a system of rights such that no government, no private firm, and no powerful person individually judges speech. The task of addressing fake news is transformed into a task of problem definition, decentralized mechanism design, and truthful signaling for which tools of information economics are well-suited.

According to Jim Hoopes, the fundamental principles on which business is based-authority, power, control-are increasingly at odds with principles of life in a democratic society-freedom, equality, individualism. False Prophets critically examines the pioneering theories of the early management thinkers, such as Taylor, Follett, Mayo, and Deming, which intended to democratize corporate life yet have proved antithetical to the successful practice of business. Hoopes challenges popular management movements that followed in the wake of these thinkers and accuses today's business theorists of perpetuating bad management in the name of democratic values. He urges executives and managers to recognize the realities of corporate life and learn to apply the principles of power. He also unveils a new management agenda that will be of paramount significance to modern organizations. A rich and lively read, False Prophets provides a refreshingly new and original overview of the history of management in the larger context of the American culture, brilliantly illustrating its evolution-from the ivory tower to the shop floor.
