While I get misinformation sucks, I kinda dislike the stateization approach toward social media, I'm almost worried that if they found out about the fediverse they would make us get a special social media licence proving we are multi billion dollar company with a misinfo task force to run an instance. I feel like the centralization has honestly made misinformation way more possible.
