Stop being condescending. I asked an open question to give you ample opportunity to elaborate without presumption.
We're talking about removing misinformation and flat out lies, not "being the arbiters of truth" as if someone where to control a narrative from behind the curtain. I know the Fediverse gets its underwear pretty wet on that one and it's sometimes absurd to the point of being obnoxious.
Debunking has been a exercise on the internet for a long time and there are plenty of third parties that are quite reliable. YouTube already incorporates that to a degree and it's not a foreign concept. There is plenty of popular and blatant material on there that could easily be subject to review without going to ridiculously extreme scrutiny that paralyzes all our thoughts and actions.
There's clearly a difference, no need to be obtuse.
Prove it.
