    make them liable if it turns out to be false

    A terrible no-good idea. Legislating for truth is a slippery slope that ends in authoritarian dystopia. The kind of law you are advocating exists in a ton of countries (“spreading dangerous falsehoods”, abuse of defamation laws when the subject involves an individual, etc). You would not want to live in any of these places.

    Do you agree with the existence of defamation laws?

        In your opinion, what exactly would qualify as abuse of defamation laws? Could you provide an example for clarity?
