Web of trust. Your results and how much you trust given text is based on who gave it to you. You assign trust to people you know, then it's a small world effect and recursive trust calculation based on who they trust.
Centralization won't work. Whether something is good or bad or fake must be subjective and based on your personal network / your beliefs. Otherwise, long term, I don't see how you could avoid dystopia.
