The last thing that Facebook wants is to be forced into a position where they have to decide what is and is not "authoritative information". They are only doing

  Of course they don't want to be in such a position because it costs them money. Similarly, it costs e.g Dupont money to be responsibly disposing of chemicals, but we're comfortable requiring them to do it or else face being shut down. We learned our lesson with Dupont when they were poisoning water supplies. Similarly, I believe Facebook is poisoning our information supplies, which you can see in the rapid uptick in QAnon believers. Hell, they whipped themselves into enough of a frenzy to storm the Capitol building to overthrow an election. I'm not making any political statements, truly. I'm just noting that these groups and ideas simply would not exist and perpetuate without being facilitated by Facebook's rampant misinformation problem.
