A nifty thing, but it’s not really addressing the actual problem. The problem with disinformation isn’t that it merely exists, rather that it’s shoved at such a volume by groups/people who build pseudo-credibility.
Rather than targeting individual instances of disinformation, sources should be dealt with. I think it’d be far easier and more efficient if disseminators were identified and popped a warning.

Yeah that’s a great thought, focusing on the author. Like in that long thread with another user, they also identified entertaining “punditry” instead may be more useful.
