I used to research Disinformation. I once had a conversation about how Disinformation detection differs to Spam detection. The issue is that Spam is far more focused and similar than Disinformation. I don't doubt we might see a new spam wave of emails written by GPT-6.5 that lull people into phishing links or donations etc but broadly speaking the architecture and scope of spam is very similar. Disinformation is too similar to (legally protected) things like Satire. In essence, I fail to see how we could reliably police Disinformation whilst maintaining freedom of speech. No politician would want to be on the wrong side of things.
