Right? I'm so completely sick of all the non-stop lying. If I was president, I'd issue an executive order making lying illegal.

Who decides what "truth" is? In concept I'm with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

Alright how about ethics laws. Make knowingly lying or blatant dishonesty a felony.

Didn't news stations at one point have something that required exactly this? Atleast over in america...

I mean it's mostly just something to say, I haven't put a lot of thought into it. But there are things that are objectively true, and objectively false. If a company states something that is objectively false, then they should be held accountable. This PSN issue is an area where it becomes subjective, or at least difficult to prove, and then we're right back where we started.
