Exactly right. Allow the free market of ideas to separate fact from engineered fiction. There is a place for fake news catchers, but it is minor and should only be intended catch the most egregious violators of the public's trust.
I'm deeply skeptical of any attempt to sort fact from fiction that is imposed on a user base rather than utilized by choice. Such a thing gives way too much power to the people who make decisions about what qualifies as "true"

How about I approach Youtube and all other sites with skepticism, and teach my kids to do the same, instead of having any default trust at all?
