Oof.

My point is purely that there are professions, and here's an important one directly related to rights advocacy, that are effectively regulated without impinging on people's rights.

Also, in absolutely no way am I suggesting censoring in terms of stopping these people attempting to spread their lies - I'm just suggesting that it should be possible to distinguish the ones being held to a basic standard from those just *knowingly* spouting crap - just as I or anyone else can express my opinion and give my lower-case-a advice on legal matters so long as I'm clear that it isn't "Legal Advice" from a "Lawyer", or call myself a healer or something and make homeopathy so long as I don't call it a "cure" or myself a "doctor".

Also, you’re coming into this apparently thinking it’s a new idea, apparently not knowing of the history of journalist licensing across the world and its connection with totalitarianism and censorship.
