How does decentralizing things combat the scourge of misinformation and fake news? Wouldn't it exacerbate the issue?

Not to sound like a hipster, but I feel like the internet went downhill when it went mainstream. That's when there was a huge incentive to take advantage of people, whether it's spam, scams, or propaganda campaigns.

The centralized control of our data is a separate issue, no?
