Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

It is very much possible that John lives in a democracy that has a democratically decided to implement a law that is against false claims or actions that cause unnecessary risk to one's integrity. In other words, some democracies might agree that if your speech can cause harm, it should be limited. Anyway, most Political Scientists would most likely say that such a democracy is on its way to be "not a democracy".
