They could make an effort to verify the content they’re sending out to people.
A big reason why traditional media is dying is that they have to verify the things they publish or they’ll get sued. Social media can use algorithms to build narratives based on lies without any liability. And people will believe those lies (because they’re tailored towards their personal feelings) and start distrusting anything that’s telling the truth.
And yes they will annoy you with checkboxes and dialogs like the cookie dialogs on most sites now. But the reason why you get those is because they don’t want you to have privacy and so do the malicious compliance things and annoy the shit out of you instead. They know you’ll blame the government instead of being angry at them for wanting to violate your privacy.
Same situation here… they could put resources into verifying the things they tell you is true. But lying is more profitable, so they’ll put on a bunch of annoying dialogs so you’ll be angry at the government instead of being angry at them for wanting to lie to you.

How would they verify millions of queries per day?
That’s a good question for Google. Maybe they should have thought it through before pushing half baked technology on everyone.
Look la ke a their problem… If they spread fake information they should bevliable for it.
