If a substantial portion of society easily falls for misinformation, then the solution is not to bring in a centralized entity to "fact check". The solution is to improve educational standards so people can use critical thinking skills to assess the validity of claims. Misinformation is not a threat to democracy, lack of critical thinking is. The day people willingly outsource their critical thinking will be the day democracy collapses.
