> no rules about publishing false information about companies/projects, etc.

This is already covered by slander and fraud laws




Slander doesn't apply to your company saying things about itself. Fraud doesn't easily apply to people outside of your country. (Especially if you don't know where they are)


That can't be enforced much of the time because there is no regulation to enforce the identity and details of the project founders.
