Should there be a law against public institutions that lie for money?
The problem is that
lying is difficult to prove\demonstrate as it involves the
intent to deceive - so if the teller
believes it is true there is no deceit, no lie.
You can have a law against providing false information for money -- that is called fraud.
False information can be demonstrated: if someone claims to have a degree and you can show that the degree doesn't exist ...
If someone claims the earth is less than 10,000 years old you can show that there are tree rings that show a greater age ...
If this "information" is sold or exchanged for money then fraud has been committed.
There ought to be a law against institution like religions and bogus charities that live off of lying to the gullible.
Can you protect people from being fools?
