Of course you can prevent exposure. People don't get their information out of thin air.
It mostly comes from one of the few dozen top news and social media sites. And you can absolutely hold them to account for allowing such content to persist on their platform.
Which is what they are doing e.g. Facebook, Twitter and Youtube all banning content referring to unproven COVID-19 cures.

It's true that platforms can play moderator whack-a-mole to beat back the tide of garbage on the internet, but you ultimately can't rely on remote technocratic arbiters to stop people from being exposed to bad ideas, it's not a strategy that scales, at least not until the day when everything you post on the internet is automatically moderated by a machine learning filter.
