How do you prove things are lies when they are verboten.
They’re forbidden because they’re lies. The government would keep a documented record of the falsehoods, publicly available for anyone to study.
If they are in a public record free to be studied how are they forbidden then? Thats the point of free speech. To be able to address and engage with an idea and point to how it is correct or incorrect. I like Twain's take:
“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”
Censorship is what the weak minded do because they cant handle competing ideas, like leftists censoring language because it "triggers" them
If they are in a public record free to be studied how are they forbidden then?
Forbidden to be implemented. “No, we will not enact this policy, because the results of the policy are [x]. Do not attempt to enact it.” Anyone who tries gets killed. That’s how society doesn’t collapse.

Or when sane people realize that objectively damaging ideas have no place in society. You’ll learn. Or you’ll die. No skin off my back anymore; I’ve given up teaching the truth to folks. They don’t give a shit in the first place.
Well I dont disagree. I thought we were discussing the censorship of ideas not a limit on behaviours and norms.
