I think many people agree that disinformation is a threat, but won't admit it. Because they know that anti-disinformation efforts will be (and have been) used tactically only to silence narratives those in power dislike, and not as a neutral, dispassionate tool of truth. Weak evidence will be considered as conclusive proof, or strong evidence dismissed as inconclusive, as convenient for the fact-checkers.
For example, even though the police killings/homicides committed ratio is higher for Whites than Blacks, BLM is never cited as based on disinformation, nor are their protests during the peak of COVID cited as a risk.
