Original Note:
There is no free speech exception covering “misinformation to downplay political violence.” If there were, for example, then Holocaust denialism could be prosecuted. (It is not.) The Supreme Court has said even false speech and advocacy of violence are generally protected. https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1506/false-speech https://mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/970/incitement-to-imminent-lawless-action
