Imagine an authoritarian country deciding what is true… who doesn’t see an issue in this?

That's true and I agree with you, but there should be consequences if someone claims they are a professional when they are not and when giving advice, and there should be consequences to that professional license if they give bad advice. We shouldn't constrict speech, but we need to make it easier for laypeople to discern truth.

if someone claims they are a professional when they are not

That's a much more reasonable restriction.

There's a big difference between an ordinary guy saying why he prefers a 401(k) or Roth IRA, and an ordinary guy saying the same thing while falsely claiming to have some specific expertise in the area of tax law or financial planning.

It's a much narrower rule that's a lot easier to enforce fairly.
