For the misinformation they have been spreading regarding Covid-19. Its endangering people. I am not sure ( I'm not a lawyer) where the line is between political commentary covered by freedom of speech and willful lies putting the lives of people in danger. After all, you can get charged if you have HIV and willfully spreads it.
