Beware - a lot of what you think is "misinformation", others think is
"my opinion".  The question of what speech is "actionable" is not one we
can easily define (unless one is a judge, at least in the USA).  Do not
fall into the trap of saying "You should be punished unless I agree with
what you say."

> Truth is important

The problem with Truth is that there's your Truth, and someone else's
Truth.  Don't confuse "truth" with "facts".  Truth is often colored by
one's own beliefs and opinions.
