The three authors make the recommendation that, to deter fake/unapproved information from being circulated, the US should amend the US Constitution:

"Under US law, adapt the First Amendment, perhaps by building upon existing hate speech prohibitions that are permitted by the First Amendment, such as the federal cyberstalking statute (18 USC ยง 2261A); create exceptions and add possible new regulations to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, a provision that shields social media platforms from legal liability for the actions of third-party users of their services; and amend and evolve electoral regulation."
