All the more important to not rely on mechanism that mirror Putins crackdown on information. The damage from disinformation is just smaller than to openly crack down on content you dislike. Fact checkers don't exist for too long and there are countless issues where they just reiterate the "correct" opinion. I think there is a lot of projection in your goal here, but that is beside the point. DDG also already downranks outlets that are not related to Russia.
