You are sorely mistaken if you think society would be better off with laws against lying. Crimes are already illegal. There is already an accepted legal definition for inciting violence.

Crimes against lying are bordering on thought crimes, because eventually people who support such laws lose control of what is truth and what is not.

We would be better off with laws against lying… if they could be made to work. But they cannot, so we must live with lies being legal.
