That's really what I was trying to get at. I mean, I think we all agree that people have the right within the constraints you've identified to say what they like, make up whatever they want to make up and mislead if they choose to mislead.
The question that I have is this: In a world where information or disinformation is flowing at this kind of rate and pace, how do we start to think about actual consequences of it? It drives people to do things or to act in ways that then can cross the line that perhaps were not intended. Isn't that right? I can't imagine that when people make statements, they intend for people to go out and do terrible things.
How should we as politicians think about how to manage the things that we say without regulating what we say? Nobody's trying to take people's freedom away. What obligation should we have to think about the consequences of our words and the actions that they might inspire in others? That is the question, really, that I want to get to.
