> Reducing the distribution of content rated as false by independent third-party fact-checkers
Wonder who the independent 3rd party fact-checkers are. If one was in the business of "manufacturing consent" and wanted to control what is pushed to the front and what isn't, those fact checkers would be a great starting point. How easy is to influence them?
> Collaborating with academics and other organizations to help solve this challenging issue
Does that include, say, think-tanks? Specific universities? How are those picked and how are they rewarded for the collaboration. That seems like another easy area to influence. Don't go just to Facebook, but go a step further and try to influence these organization to push a particular story / product / idea etc.
