The problem is that "Fake News" is a misleading category in itself. The primary issue with "fake news" isn't political it's advertising. Fake news is made mostly to lure you into clicking or sharing which in turn increases the advertising revenue. A lot of it is saying outrageous conspiratorial stuff but in essense it's not different than tabloid news which are often also "fake news" On top of that what might be considered fake news by some doesn't have to be by others because it might have utility. And lats but not least. Combatting fake news would mean that you would be able to cover all contextual interpretations of a given statement which we simply don't have access to. So from my perspective you can't battle fake news in any meaningful ways which won't end up doing more harm than good as "fake news" is not really fake in some objectively defined way.
