For (2), allowing conversation as a general solution seems tough at scale, e.g., targeted misinformation campaigns on fb and twitter.

Allowing conversation isn't tough: FB and Twitter would literally have to do less than they do now.

Creating a culture where people are willing to have uncomfortable conversations instead of trying to silence anyone they disagree with is the hard part.

I agree but it isn’t a general solution. “Allowing conversation” is what Facebook did in 2016, letting people attend fake rallies created by fake Facebook groups disseminating fake facts.
