No, but they should make mandatory for the public, specially in schools, good practice of navigating the internet and analysing information critically.

 @9HV3M67answered…1yr1Y

the government should fund bodies that do this work, with a team of experts, rather than trying to do it themselves

 @9MQ3FV8answered…10mos10MO

It should be regulated but not by the government. Preferably a third party designed to ensure regulation without bias.

 @B3FS4CGanswered…2wks2W

I think there is a fine line between preventing misinformation and too much regulation. We need regulations, but not too much.

 @B2HRMRKfrom Kyrenia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only disclaimers should be provided regarding particular media publications that have a bias to a political party, agenda or ideology.

 @9ZX97JManswered…3mos3MO

I think they shouldn’t regulate it too heavily but keen an eye on it. This may become a bigger problem in the future but right now, I think it’s okay.

 @9ZWFCXLanswered…4mos4MO

Social media companies should be held responsible for the objectively false info on their sites, especially when they promote the spread

 @9ZW8D8Yanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, to a degree. Twitter has a "Community Notes" feature that allows people to fact check potential misinformation, and I think a government body that provides additional context to some degree available on social networks would be helpful as well, encouraging others to contribute as that would be a massive workload.
