I'm not opposed to laws preventing corporations from providing false/misleading information, witholding relevant information, etc. I'm just saying people should be free to make the final judgement of whether or not they want to invest after having been presented with all relevant facts.

There's also the issue of enforcement. If a company gives you false information, you may not have the resources to sue them if it's only a civil matter, or if the local prosecutor declines to prosecute.
