Flagging Misinformation Sites

A friend of mine sent me an article furious about a Biden Cabinet pick, but after I checked the article and the website, it turned out to be an ACTUAL Fake News website.

This might be a tall order, but as we move forward into the Digital Age, Discord is going to need a system that Flags a blacklist of sites as "Misinformation Sites", so that misinformation does not spread this easily.

This could probably come with a simple Blacklist that users can upload suggestions to, that Discord can then use to notify users if a posted Article is coming from a known fake news site, perhaps by placing a flag underneath the formatting of the Discord message.

To be classified as a "Misinformation Site" (calling it that to avoid divisive rhetoric), the website most be known for publishing Hoaxs and completely crafted news stories. Having a political Bias does NOT make you a "Misinformation site".

Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of known fake News websites - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fake_news_websites
