why can’t Facebook do a test program where any post or link that gets over a certain threshold of viral distribution (like millions of shares or views) *has* to add citations, evidence or responses from the verified party involved?

Or it just doesn’t get distributed until those citations or evidence are added.

You’d have to validate the sources, which would be tough. Also, the number of posts with a lot of traction is probably huge, and mostly photos of dogs being cute

The press/academic approach to source validation likely isn’t fast enough to do it even under those conditions. Imho a better approach would focus on the reliability of posting entities (pages and people) over individual stories.

Instead of focusing on moderating individual posts for truth (which is slow enough to be hard to do), you'd instead focus on using fact checks of individual posts as a way of assessing the reliability/lack of for websites, Pages, and users.

Like a classic enforcement via periodicc, unpredictable penalty model? If we catch you, you get fined or fined via bans/reduced distribution?
