It’s so difficult to navigate and enforce with first amendment rights.
I think the only real solution is media literacy classes required for every student. We’re deep into a critical thinking crisis in the USA and I fear it’s already going to be tough to claw back from it.
I also very strongly believe that somewhere between the boomers and the zoomers we’ve forgotten to teach some important things about our civic duties and it’s ultra important to start again, again if it’s not already too late.
The real root cause as you said is very likely down to individual’s media literacy and critical thinking skills. But the solution to educate everyone from ground up would be very costly and less efficient.
From an efficiency perspective, the government have to figure out ways to stop misinformation from spreading in short term. And hopefully, next few generation will have better critical thinking and analytic skills to online information.
I don’t know how they would draw the line between misinformation and first amendment. But hopefully, a competent government will see this as a problem and find solutions to it.

It is a chicken and egg problem.
