Isn't that what we're already doing? How do you think it's going?

Well. Count me up as one who was a die hard Bernie supporter who has made a very hard right turn as my former home (as a progressive Dem) seems to be arguing in favor of censorship at every turn.
If you want more people like me keep thinking you can stifle speech on the internet.

Fact checking is now censorship?

Ahh yes you mean like having Peter dazick or whatever his name is fact check covid source material on Facebook? When his eco health alliance funded it? Yeah. Fact checks alright. Laughable.

I don't really care much for your politics.
I think we can agree that misinformation on the internet by state and private actors is causing damage to society.
How would you recommend we protect against that damage or prevent it from happening? Or are you saying we should just put up with it?
A war on "misinformation" is about as likely to succeed as a war on drugs. The negative effects of it are surely to be even worse. At least "what is a drug?" can be defined fairly easily.
