Also, since we're on this topic, here is a guide to ban fake news, enforce, properly regulate it, aall while staying out of first amendment violations altogether. It's not hard or complex, it's just that justice is unwilling to do it.
1. Elevate libel, defamation and slander laws to federal crime status for certain categories, period. Which means the state can and will prosecute, independent of victim's actions. A whole throng of fake news would become punishable by law if it wasn't for the fact that libel laws remains mostly under civil lawsuit status;
2. Properly define and penalize crimes related to racism, prejudice, sexism, minority persecution, discriminatory action and whatnot as serious crimes not protected by the first amendment, federally. Explicitly include Internet and digital realm into it;
3. Properly define crimes related to stalking, doxxing, unwarranted persecution, threats to life, psychological torture and others federally and put proper enforcement, penalties and regulations into it.
The rest is a matter of enforcement and regulations. When those become federal crimes, Big Tech and other platforms that harbors these kinds of discourses become accessory to crime if they don't take proper action. But this also depends on regulation and enforcement. If you are going to change laws on paper alone, it's useless.
Even then, bureaucracy means that those crimes will still be committed, but sooner or later the culprits will have to face justice. Until this don't happen, there is no hope for fixing the problem with people considering scam artists, radicals, cult leaders, saboteurs and criminals as a normalized part of democracy.
