Constitutional freedom to astroturf?

February 2nd, 2003 · No Comments

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…”

Does the First Amendment guarantee freedom to deceive? No.

  • The FDA has strict rules about which ingredients have to be listed on food labels. The government could and should similar rules to protect against deceptive Astroturf.
  • medical journal policy.
