That doesn't really address, though, the tobacco studies. Carefully selection of candidates, some p-hacking, and so on. There are numerous ways to put your thumb on the scale. It isn't just Dr. Nick faking up a degree.
On top of it, you would need some kind of centralized registry, overseen by humans, of what is real and what is fake, for legal purposes. Once that Ministry of Truth exists, how do you get your MKUltra knowledge out? Remember, that was a nutty conspiracy theory for decades. The Ministry of Truth just crushes it because they are part of the government, and poof, you never find out.

So we don't censor the papers, we force them to be even more transparent and make sure guilty people get punished, including maybe the individuals behind big companies( put Elon in prison if he signed of on some shity statistic that misleads people that his cars are 10x safer)
