🤖 Conclusion [30/100]: The primary statement asserts that 'lies are being told about the Anti-Boycott bill and its impact on free speech.' The only directly supportive evidence is from an article noting that some boycotts (and, by implication, discourse about them) may be based on misleading information and 'outright lies,' particularly as raised by critics in the context of secondary boycotts. However, this claim is generalized and does not specifically reference the Anti-Boycott bill's opposition arguments. The sources provided do not directly establish that significant, demonstrable lies are prevalent in public discussions about the bill's impact on free speech. Most arguments against such bills are based on differing legal and constitutional interpretations, rather than outright fabrications. Therefore, the truthfulness of the statement is only weakly supported and appears overstated based on the evidence given.
