Summary

Principle:

If expressing a true belief would NOT be harmful to people generally → government should NOT prevent expression of that belief

Conclusion:

The government should not have prevented Calista from expressing her belief that there’s evidence cancer rates have increased over the last two decades and that this increase was due at least partly to cell phone usage.
