It's not.
It's all a ruse for the federal government to steal more power over our ability to privately communicate with one another.
It's what states do, lie to its subjects in order to get or maintain its power of economic plunder.

Every law ends in prison, or death. Don't support laws that you wouldn't kill for. End of story.

The line is aggression or the threat of aggression (the initiation of force against a person or property).
Telling a business they have to disclose a salary in their job listing is telling him that you're going to throw them in prison if they don't. All laws are backed up with force. Always. That's an initiation of force against non-force. I don't know about you, but that violates my most fundamental of principles.

It's just the principled free speech stance taken to its logical conclusion. Wherever you disagree, apply that disagreement consistently across the board and you'll probably reach some very distasteful conclusions, at least I hope you would, assuming you're a kind and decent person.

No, you're not following me. Not disclosing a salary range does not bring actionable harm to anybody, not like ingesting poison or injuring yourself.
Duh.

Same thing. If the manufacturer and prescriber want to avoid liability for harming you then they will include overdose warnings as a matter of prudence.

>Do you consider other accurate labeling requirements to be free speech intrusions as well?
Yes, until it crosses the line and becomes fraud.
>Like packaged food manufacturers being required to include ingredients and nutrition information; car manufacturers reporting miles per gallon according to a standardized test;
Absolutely.
>property owners who wish to enforce access restrictions on their property having to post notice of such restriction ("no trespassing");
This should not be required but it is wise to do in order to avoid legal liability in the harm they bring to trespassers. "I didn't know I was trespassing because there was no indication I was on private property" should be a valid offense when suing somebody for harming you.
>news services having at least a nominal duty to the truth; and so on?
Absolutely.
Lying, defamation, hate speech, all of it are free speech and should be legally protected. Cancel culture can go where the law shouldn't.

Then expose the companies that do that. Don't attack free speech and think you're doing a good and noble thing. You're not.

Compelled speech is an infringement on free speech.
