The trouble with IPSO is that it's toothless; you can take a look down https://www.ipso.co.uk/rulings-and-resolution-statements/ and see how often the Mail, Express and Sun get ruled against on accuracy.

But if Fake News institutions like Infowars-types were required to be members, the IPSO would have to revoke their membership or face ridicule and undermine the trustworthiness of the rest of the members. And if Infowars wanted to be published on Facebook and Google, they'd have to abide by the IPSO rules.
