Seems the more effective solution would be to treat the social media addiction.
We can, however, negate the benefits of using social media to spread misinformation by making it a criminal offense for politicians to knowingly lie or misrepresent the truth. This limits the damage they can cause.
Also, extending that to social media influencers, and the media in general, would make sense.
As for who decides what is true, that would be up to the court system.
