This guy has great intentions, but he himself admits that the reason that inflammatory stuff gets spread is because low-effort readers retweet or share things without clicking through and reading the actual articles. And using Ctrl+F is less effort than reading an entire article, but it's still much, much more effort than just hitting retweet. Especially if the thing you're retweeting is something that you want to boost because it reinforces your preconceptions. Why would you want to fact-check something like that?
Ctrl+F is nice, but it's definitely not gonna solve the problem he's pointing to.
