In one post you might have everyone absolutely berating Facebook for allowing the platform to be used to spread misinformation, in another you have everyone berating Google for trying to disallow it. :/ Is there anyone discussing what to do about this trade off and not just yelling? How do you protect people from weaponized information, should you, can you? It seems like there should be consequences to lying and spreading invalid information as fact, but who should do it and how?

There's no long-term consensus to be had here - we can allow "a little" of free speech, and "a little" of hate speech, but neither side will accept that as a permanent state of affairs; at best, it would be a truce.
