That is not an improvement, because it turns "online" (which is basically everything everywhere - all news media, TV, newspapers) into a politically useless wasteland.

"Online" is already a useless, trustless wasteland and has been since at least 2014. If this causes people to finally see it then maybe we can collectively build something better.

It could just as well be an improvement that makes people smarter, because they will learn not to just believe what they see/hear/read.

Instead, they will have to learn to identify good explanations and rule out bad explanations.
