How could anything else make any sense? Platforms are getting used to provide dangerous broken products and get away with it. There should be some limit to it.

Disclaimers and user acceptance does not remove liability for slander, particularly against third parties.

In fact, in most EU countries "the user acknowledged" works only for a very small subset of stuff, precisely because our lawmakers know that the strong party in a contract would use that to get away from every legal obligation.

Anyone can write a disclaimer, that does not make it enforceable.

Luckily it doesn't work like this in the EU.

Should we hold scientists and journalists liable if they say false things or misrepresent things?

We already do. Libel and fraud are already illegal.

Yes, obviously.

If they do so knowingly, and harm is caused, then yes. Are you suggesting we should give them a pass from years of acquired jurisprudence simply because they hold a particular title?

And what institution gives out the licenses for journalists and scientists? Is it revokable?

You don't?
