Is There a Positive Role of Short Sellers in the Market?

Shorting falls into two buckets. One is you use it as a hedging instrument, like long Google short Facebook or long Facebook short Google. I think the question is if you were on the inside of a company and you say XYZ is happening, for example, Trevor Milton, and it causes the stock to go up and it turns out to be fraudulent, he's held accountable. The question is should there be the same responsibility for people on the outside who can say the exact opposite ofXYZ is happening?
