This should have been part of the tobacco settlements in the 90s. Just like Apple was forced to admit on their website that Samsung didn’t infringe their patents, this is an appropriate step to correct the public record after decades of intentional lies on the part of the tobacco companies. Nobody is allowed to use lies to prop up their business and it is wholly appropriate to regulate truth in commerce. Good job, nanny state!

China’s Cultural Revolution went so well, why not emulate it here?

Besides, if confession is good for the soul, isn’t self-denunciationconfession at least as good for the lawyers who will then promptly file suit?
