Who will be the arbiter of truth? Or do we rely on educating everyone that everything on the internet is (probably) fake?

It’s not even an either/or binary. FB’s system incentivizes certain types of content to spread over others. It’s not neutral no matter what you do.

Ironically it feels as though journalists are the ones who should be arbiters of truth. We still need trusted middleware to sort the junk from the reality, because it’s actually hard work to do so.
