Something like 80% of Americans think social media is doing just right or should be doing more to address misinformation (exact percentage depends on the category of information.)
If Twitter stopped, they’d lose some market share to competitors that do more fact checking. There are already popular social media networks that don’t do that much checking, like reddit. Twitter itself does fact checking on fewer topics than Facebook. People can choose what level they’re comfortable with, if that’s important to them.
Depends on the topic, but look at e.g. Figure 2 on page 6. 81% say never allow election related misinformation, 85% say never allow health misinformation.

Do you have a source for the 80% figure?
