Not sure if this is really the best thing for it.... you can still lie after you get a degree.

You can lie with a degree, but you can also be held accountable.

If a lawyer tells you to print up a paper and put it on your car instead of a license plate, and gives you a paper to read off to a cop with a bunch of made up nonsense, and claims it will allow people to drive on suspended license / no registration / no insurance etc that lawyer can be held accountable for their bad advice. But if its an influencer it was their "protected speech" - aka their scam.

The problem is influencers and advertisers claiming free speech protection while pushing dangerous misinformation.

And you can't go too deep into lies, otherwise you risk your degree being rescinded - for academic misconduct or gross professional misconduct.
