A journalistic establishment with clear editorial control and clear liability for libel, etc. is not the same thing as a publishing platform.

Fair point, how do you think we need to control rampant misinformation?

I don't feel the need to control others' speech.

As far as better information, diversity in viewpoint in journalistic within organizations will help. News that starts within a bubble is probably more distorted.

The social media problem is harder, but giving users ultimate control on how to filter fake news is important. Otherwise, social media companies should express editorial positions and advertise editorial services as a core part of their offerings, then consumers and content creators would have clear signals about biases in how information is curated on their platforms.
