    Yes.

    When you have a platform and spout known misinformation that lets people die from preventable diseases, you kmshpuld be in jail.

    When you spout known misinformation that undermines democracy, you should be in jail.

    When you spout misinformation that allows you to lie, cheat, and abuse, then yes, you should go to jail.

    If you go against science, then fuck you, rot in jail. I’m sick and tired of “but muh freedums” responses anytime we ask politicians and celebrities to be truthful. Fuck. that. Shit.
