> yeah, misleading people on the internet is big business

So what? In America, unless you violate FDA or SEC (or similar) agencies, or are slandering or libelling, its not illegal. Also, who is the arbiter of what is "true" in your comment above? Not everything has a fact based logical answer that is generally accepted. Should pastors be kicked off YT for "misleading" people about heaven? Free speech protects EVERYONE's right to speak because from someone else's point of view, you are the one that is misleading someone.

Also, in terms of Brand, or other cases, an allegation can be settled in many courts. Once adjudicated, it is appropriate to consider action.

How do you feel about Purdue Pharma and the opioid epidemic?

I was personally affected and have a very nuanced thoughts about this and policy generally. However, they are not outside the spirit of what I said above? Purdue did run afoul of FDA guidelines. Regardless, US drug policy is very broken.

if you're asking this question then we don't have anything to talk about

I'm being flippant but I stand by my point. I think your line of thinking is what leads to things like the DSA in Europe. Laws already exist so when you say "bad people" who are you referring to? People breaking laws but they haven't been charged? Or people you personally are defining as morally bad?
