You could use the same reasoning to strike down defamation laws. It will be interesting to see what the Circuit Court of Appeals says about this.

"the same reasoning to strike down defamation laws"

Lying about yourself is not the same as lying about someone else.

The courts have found a "compelling government interest" in the past to support anti-defamation laws, which they will most likely continue to support.
