Can't we just teach critical thinking in schools and how to do research, learn to determine who has credibility in which fields etc?
This is an endless war against miss information. What is wrong today may be right tomorrow. Things change and people need to be smart enough to make their own determination.
People should also be smart enough to figure out whom to vote for and what to vote for not relying on some in TV or where to tell them.
This is an incredibly limited view and nirvana fallacy.
No project can radically change global education system. So of course can't 'just'. And even somehow your wildest fantasy came true and we were all some perfect robots operating only based on rational sorting of peer reviewed papers it would still not solve anything.
No human has even 1/1000000 of a chance to be a perfect expert on all the things that might be discussed in the world.
Science and critical thinking are not universal. No scientific paper and no amount of historical education on history of Crimea will perfectly inform you about what is 'correct'.
Even beyond all that, moderation is targeted add far more things then miss-information. Its about 100 practical issues. From abuse. To Spam. To harassment. To Spoilers. To keep things 'on topic'. And many other things.
