You're not aware of the general difference between lying and fraud? You think all forms of deception are either all legal or all illegal, and that's how granular our laws are?

Are you not in support of, or not aware of contexts like medicine, commerce, elections being sensitive enough to have laws around false or fraudulent behavior?

I still don't understand what you don't understand. Twitter is supposed to be a free square for crime?

Fraud is a financial crime, and Mackey was not convicted of fraud.

Forget the constitution. Did you even read the law?
