    Hmm, I guess from one point of view Google already is the de facto “arbiter of truth on the internet” as the most popular search engine, hence the need for regulation.

    Does the EU law require that the fact-checks be accurate and unbiased?

    Are they really fact checks otherwise?

    But then you definitely have a who-watches-the-watchers problem.
