I don't trust Facebook or Twitter to distinguish disinformation from information. Why would anyone?
Its time for another amendment.
EDIT since this is related, another horrendous idea that recently disgraced my timeline
3500 accounts? single bot will make those in several weeks
Minutes!
Twitter still doesn’t have a way to report misinformation. I’ve been seeing an almost 100% success rate in accounts s report having actions taken.

Why would Mark Zuckerberg want to harm a country that his business depends on? Why would someone destroy their own house? It makes no sense. On the other hand, politicians have plenty of incentives to harm the country; since they can just sell out to foreign powers in order to gain favors and make a quick buck after they leave office.
Politicians cannot be trusted because they have nothing to lose from making things worse. Corporations on the other hand can be trusted because they have a lot to lose if the country goes down the drain.
In times like these, it's important that we all come together and support our corporations in order to protect our democracy.

They can’t and they shouldn’t. The potential good that could come from this does not outweigh the catastrophic failure modes of this approach. Some enlightened people understood this, hundreds of years ago. Its time for another amendment.

James Madison wrote the Senate should protect the moneyed from democracy, and the Constitution was forever.
If you’re going to point at their ideas, don’t cherry pick nebulous middle ground cartoon versions of their actual positions. Don’t lump them all together as believing in the same values.
I'd rather have these raving lunatics (and to be clear, many of these propagandists are exactly that) spouting nonsense than trust Twitter to curate the truth.

Look at what’s happening. The end results of allowing anything to happen on social media are not good. We’re not in a good place. So we can ignore that for rigid principles, or admit that those principles don’t stand up to the real world.
No, no one hundreds of years ago had any idea about the scale or effect of social networks. Yes there was propaganda and brainwashing, but the speed and adaptability and design of these systems is so different as to be categorically unrecognizable.
So. What do you propose?
