There's often a certain kind of (and if this is you well, fight me I guess lol) rationalist commenter online who will say something like "Why do you want to regulate misinformation, do you think you're better than Fox News viewers? Like you're this smart elitist on a hill who's not vulnerable to misinformation? Why should you get to decide what other people consume?" That's meant to sort of feed into I think a normal "good" persons humility, and while I don't have a great response to the accusation, I'm confident it feeds into some massive rhetorical fallacy.
I do observe that there are some folks who seem more vulnerable to misinformation than myself, and I do think it's a debate worth having.
