Worldwide, people are circulating damaging lies and falsehoods through powerful social media platforms that reach billions. They range from claims that COVID-19 is a hoax to the theory that vaccines cause autism. In Liars , Cass Sunstein argues that free societies must generally allow falsehoods and lies, which cannot be excised from democratic debate.
