It looks like we may be at a stand-still, Andrew. Of course I am responding to what you're saying. Free speech is exactly that: free speech, whether it includes lies or not. Like I said, slander is a different story.
I am not defending lying as being a healthy thing to do, just reminding you that, whether you or I like it or not, lying is perfectly legal.

On other stuff:
I watched a long video of Milo Yiannopoulos on Dave Rubin's show. I have not really dug into this Milo guy, but I agree with a good deal of what he said in
this interview. What I didn't agree with at all was his assertion that there is no distinction between radical Islam and mainstream Islam. That's simply wrong.
Dave Rubin has some pertinent things to say about what he calls the "regressive left", which I agree with.
