The reason fake news can still propagate, is because we have no "Vouching" system, by which a citizen can vouch for a piece of information -or even another citizen/organisation.
Where there inheritance of trust, and one weak link in this chain, the social media plattforms would be very quiet.
Advertising - beyond local, would not be seen. Seeing all content equally, would be a active choice against this model.
The truth is, we could return to this medieval world, where the wise men vouch for information given, or proofs of work vouch for the information, or publishers pay you a cent for reading.
But the powers that be would be undone by this. Thus it will not happen, unless integrated sneakily into a add blocker.
