Wouldn't legislation only create a monopoly on who publishes 'fake news', though? Afterall, even the major media corporations have been involved in this scandal as of late.

With regard to voting, what you prescribe isn't possible in a democracy. We've seen where prohibiting some groups from voting has gone before.
