That's why I think combatting fake news actually promoted them and made the world a worse place: when people hear "fake news", they've learnt to doubt the "fake" part and start thinking this news is "so worth it that Facebook/Google/the media is combatting it, so I remain ignorant of that information that is vital to me".
That's how I think combatting fake news made things worse for the very people we're trying to protect: it pushed them deeper into the fakeverse (TM).
