520    A powerful analysis of why lies and falsehoods spread so 
       rapidly now, and how we can reform our laws and policies 
       regarding speech to alleviate the problem.Lying has been 
       with us from time immemorial. Yet today is different-and 
       in many respects worse. All over the world, people are 
       circulating damaging lies, and these falsehoods are 
       amplified as never before through powerful social media 
       platforms that reach billions. Liars are saying that COVID
       -19 is a hoax. They are claiming that vaccines cause 
       autism. They are lying about public officials and about 
       people who aspire to high office. They are lying about 
       their friends and neighbors. They are trying to sell 
       products on the basis of untruths. Unfriendly governments,
       including Russia, are circulating lies in order to 
       destabilize other nations, including the United Kingdom 
       and the United States. In the face of those problems, the 
       renowned legal scholar Cass Sunstein probes the 
       fundamental question of how we can deter lies while also 
       protecting freedom of speech.To be sure, we cannot 
       eliminate lying, nor should we try to do so. Sunstein 
       shows why free societies must generally allow falsehoods 
       and lies, which cannot and should not be excised from 
       democratic debate. A main reason is that we cannot trust 
       governments to make unbiased judgments about what counts 
       as "fake news." However, governments should have the power
       to regulate specific kinds of falsehoods: those that 
       genuinely endanger health, safety, and the capacity of the
       public to govern itself. Sunstein also suggests that 
       private institutions, such as Facebook and Twitter, have a
       great deal of room to stop the spread of falsehoods, and 
       they should be exercising their authority far more than 
       they are now doing. As Sunstein contends, we are allowing 
       far too many lies, including those that both threaten 
       public health and undermine the foundations of democracy 
       itself.
