The problem with social media isn't that it's a conduit for misinformation. It's that it's an unprecedented amplifier and megaphone for misinformation. I think the real fix, which would also make them much less profitable, is to radically reduce the virality of their platforms. Since they're not willing to give up the billions that spreading rabble rousing lies makes them they instead have to play censor and make everybody unhappy.
