Fact checking just seems like another business we haven't hired to solve a problem generated by the platform itself. I find that the problem here isn't fact checking, it's just the control of these private social media platforms is too broad.
This points to why there needs to be a clearer mechanism of rights for an individual's content. Meta owns a free license to not only repost your work, but also to modify and generate derivative works from it. What I don't understand is what they own when it comes to public content shared via links. Given the success of AMP, I suspect the answer is "you don't own much of anything on the internet".
DRM so far has been successful at allowing content generators to counteract the control of content providers. I sometimes wonder if we need easier personal DRM. Then, if some provider decides to misrepresent you, you can just yank the license. Or at least, there should be some kind of contract between the license holder and the provider.
Maybe web3 helps here? I'm still leery of putting all your eggs in a centralized blockchain system. But other than PDFs, I can't think of other approaches you can take.
