The three authors make the recommendation that, to deter fake/unapproved information from being circulated, the US should amend the US Constitution:
"Under US law, adapt the First Amendment,
perhaps by building upon existing hate
speech prohibitions that are permitted
by the First Amendment, such as the
federal cyberstalking statute (18 USC
§ 2261A); create exceptions and add
possible new regulations to Section 230
of the Communications Decency Act of
1996, a provision that shields social media
platforms from legal liability for the actions
of third-party users of their services; and
amend and evolve electoral regulation."
