How on earth is rescinding a requirement for truth-in-advertising a "victory for free speech"? Commercial representations aren't "free speech" and may be regulated to be required to be truthful. There's a century or two of judicial precedent for regulating how commercial and business represents its products. Imagine that...

I'm sure Britain's Imperial Tobacco Group Plc is having a happy moment though....
