again it's context. specificity might be a better word? both. are they talking about someone's specific sitiation or are they talking generalities. does the advice they are giving have context. some rando on youtube, if they're making up stuff in response to people's specific questions about their problems and "not" telling them what to do, that can fall afoul of illegal practice of law. if they're talking about general "well you need gold fringe on your conveyor's license because admiral keystone q transyldracula said..." in the same way some law youtubers talk about "well here's how due process works", it sucks but they have free speech. people are free to mislead each other, unfortunately, just when or if you are relying on those misrepresentations for any transactions it becomes fraud (which is where misleading people becomes a crime). just some examples of the limits on free speech. again, not a lawyer, just have been too embroiled in the legal field all my life.
