I don’t understand why people are saying this will reduce misinformation. The fringe sites peddling things like genocide denial aren’t news organizations to begin with, so users will still be able to share their content freely. It’ll become harder for other people to counter the misinformation by linking to legitimate news sources.
Exactly. Misinformation is not generated from those tech companies itself. It is coming from the news created by the mass media giant and the underlying users. This only serves as a proxy war between the traditional media and big tech corporate.
