Doug Belshaw addresses disinformation from the perspective of First Draft's 7 Types of Mis- and Disinformation spectrum. And I agree with him when he writes, "there isn't a single way of preventing harms when it comes to the examples on the right-hand side of First Draft's spectrum of mis- and disinformation." We can't just ban fabricated or manipulated content; it's just not feasible. How to deal with it then? Lessen the impact. "That's why," he says, "I think that the future of social interaction is federated... a multi-pronged approach which empowers communities... to deem what they consider problematic."
