It sounds absurd, but I would be frankly interested in the legal angle here.

it makes sense what you are saying as long as it reflects your personal meaning you should be allowed to do it.
but here we are exactly on a point what we did not face before.
nobody really knows how much or not much the social media influence a personal meaning. the truth is mostly hard to explain while a populistic lie will be swallowed easy.
when it comes up to spreading fake news and getting paid for it, it has another dimension.
if we thing that thought even further the internet killed democracy because how can people vote when their vote is based on wrong information?
i really see a HUGE problem here for future generations and the only answer on that will be that elections will be done by machines and not by human.
i know this is a fucking dark vision but i can not see any other way that makes sense.
