But that's not an innovation caused by the pandemic. Weren't those labels introduced in response to the spoutings of the previous POTUS, even before Covid-19 was a thing? They may have been used to combat misinformation during the 2016 election campaign, I don't recall exactly. But the mechanism definitely existed before this virus appeared.
