Putting aside "fake posts" for a second and the clear difficulty in establishing objective truth on a topic, the first line brings up 2 big questions for me.
1) What in the world is a "disinformation researcher"? Is this a newspeak word for activist?
2) What on Earth is a toxic post and why are "disinformation researchers" focusing on removing toxic posts rather than disinformation?
EDIT: Please feel free to continue to downvote my comment if you think I'm wrong for even asking, but I remain curious, and my questions still stand.
