Although it's probably a good idea to regulate false ADVERTISING of products and services, but my fear (as always with regulation unless it is very specific) is that this will be used to try to control content of subjective nature (opinion) as well, which would be a bad idea...

Plus, it's not not like traditional news media (e.g. TV's Fox News et al.) already circumvent rules for making false claims by constantly creating headlines with question marks at end (i.e. "O.J. Did it?"). So, that begs the question on how much this would really accomplish unless it is very specific..
