I would be more in favour of this if it had a click through with a more-information thingy which would show their reasoning applied to other news similar news sites that hadn't had a warning applied to them so users could have a chance to judge the accuracy.
For example in this situation maybe it is based on how many retractions daily mail has made. So it might show a table of news-sites and the retractions and an indicator showing the cut-off where they would add a site to the warning bin. This also would give the Daily Mail a more clear way to get out of the warning bin. For example if they knew another site was out of the warning bin for X retractions then they would know if they reduced to X retractions and the other site stayed the same then presumably they would get removed from the warning bin or the other site would be added as well.
I feel without any transparency this could be abused either as a way of crushing competition through collusion between people in different industries or used to push a particular ideology.
