The US is pissed that it couldn't 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They've already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn't be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of "stopping misinformation"

I feel like the constant warnings about misinformation is a way to manufacture consent for this. And like all good propaganda, there is truth behind it.

Oh yeah 100%. Liberals yelling about "Disinformatsiya" and other shit to try to make lying sound like a Russian plot. In practice "Misinformation" is anything they don't like or that htey disagree with or that challenges there narrative. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, well documented or not. It's a thought terminating cliche.

Most of the misinformation comes from the right wing. The ones who are in favour of this.

Edit; added a bit.
